EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of Queen Victoria's departure from Kingstown Harbour, Dublin, on August 10, 1849. The monarch, dressed in a dark gown and veil, stands on the deck of the royal yacht, the 'Victoria and Albert,' waving to the crowds gathered on the shore. Surrounding the vessel are various ships and steamers, their sails billowing in the wind, adding to the bustling scene. In the distance, the lighthouse at Dalkey Island stands tall, a beacon of safety for mariners navigating the Irish Sea. The photograph, taken in the early Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and spectacle of a royal departure during this period. Taken by renowned photographer Matthew Kendrick, the image is a testament to the technological advancements of the time, with steam-powered vessels becoming increasingly common in maritime transportation. The crisp details and rich tones of the print transport us back to a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the excitement and anticipation that must have filled the air as Queen Victoria set sail from the shores of Dublin.
