EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical photograph, taken in June 1866, captures a significant moment in the life of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh (1844-1900), as he is presented with the Freedom of the City of London at the Guildhall. The Duke, the second son of Queen Victoria, is seen standing proudly before the Lord Mayor of London and other city dignitaries, wearing the traditional robes and chain of office. The presentation of the Freedom of the City was a great honor, bestowed upon individuals in recognition of their meritorious services to the city. Prince Alfred had already made a name for himself as a brave and popular figure, having survived an assassination attempt in South Africa just a few years earlier. His visit to London was an opportunity for the city to welcome him back and show their appreciation for his bravery and resilience. The Duke's presence at the Guildhall was met with great enthusiasm, and the streets of London were filled with cheering crowds. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, provides a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of the 19th century. The ornate decorations of the Guildhall, the formal attire of the city officials, and the proud expression on the Duke's face all contribute to a sense of history and tradition. The image is a valuable record of a significant moment in the history of both the City of London and the Duke of Edinburgh. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library and is available for licensing for various uses, including educational, editorial, and personal projects. The image measures 21 x 16 inches (53.3 x 40.6 cm) and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or images of the Royal Family.
