The Arrival of the Royal Yacht off Gravesend, 7th March, 1863
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment in time - the arrival of the Royal Yacht off Gravesend on the 7th of March, 1863. The image is taken from "A Memorial of the Marriage of Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark" published in 1864. In this scene, we witness an exquisite display of grandeur as Alexandra of Denmark makes her way to England aboard the Royal Yacht. Bound for her marriage to future King Edward VII just three days later, this event marked a significant milestone in British history. The composition showcases a bustling harbor filled with ships and boats eagerly awaiting their majestic visitor. Flags flutter proudly in the wind, adding vibrant splashes of color against a serene seascape backdrop. A rowing boat can be seen approaching from afar, possibly carrying officials or dignitaries who have come to welcome Alexandra ashore. This chromolitho print beautifully encapsulates not only a momentous occasion but also highlights the importance placed on maritime transport during that era. It offers us a glimpse into Victorian society's fascination with royal ceremonies and serves as an enduring testament to love and unity between nations. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection, this remarkable piece transports us back through time and invites contemplation on how historical events continue to shape our present-day world.
