EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a momentous occasion in British history - the Opening of Parliament by Queen Victoria in 1856. The image shows Queen Victoria, resplendent in her royal regalia, with her beloved Prince Albert by her side as she delivers her speech to the assembled members of parliament.
The date is January 31st, 1856, and the atmosphere inside the grand interior of Parliament is electric with anticipation. The Queen's presence commands attention and respect as she fulfills one of her most important ceremonial duties as monarch.
Queen Victoria's reign was marked by significant political and social change, and this event symbolizes her role at the heart of British politics during a period of great transformation. Her partnership with Prince Albert, who played a crucial role in supporting and advising her throughout their marriage, is also evident in this image.
As we gaze upon this historical moment captured by Mary Evans Prints Online, we are transported back to a time when royalty held immense power and influence over the affairs of state. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, whose reign continues to fascinate us to this day.
