EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from the historic Royal Visit to Ireland in April 1900, when thousands of eager subjects gathered at the gates of the Viceregal Lodge in Phoenix Park, hoping to catch a glimpse of Queen Victoria during her afternoon drive in her beloved donkey chair. The anticipation is palpable as the crowd, filled with a sense of loyalty and excitement, waits for the monarch's approach. Once spotted, the enthusiastic throng races towards the gate, their faces reflecting the joy and wonder of this rare opportunity to witness royalty up close. Queen Victoria, the longest-reigning monarch in British history, was deeply loved by her people, and this image encapsulates the deep connection between the monarchy and its devoted subjects. The Viceregal Lodge, the official residence of the British Viceroy in Ireland, served as the base for the Queen's tour of the country, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into a bygone era of history and tradition.
