EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the front cover of "The Graphic," an illustrated weekly newspaper from August 29, 1891. The issue's main feature was "The Visit of the French Fleet," a significant event in the late 19th century's naval history. The image showcases a grand reception taking place at the Admiralty in London, England, where Queen Victoria, the Empress of India and monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, receives the French admiral and his men. The Queen, dressed in her regal attire, stands on the balcony of the Admiralty building, surrounded by British military and naval personnel, as well as a large crowd of onlookers. The French admiral, dressed in his full naval uniform, is seen saluting the Queen from the deck of his ship, anchored in the Thames River. The print, created by renowned English artist Sydney Prior Hall, masterfully captures the grandeur and pageantry of the occasion. The fashion of the time is evident in the intricate details of the clothing worn by both the men and women present, adding to the overall sense of elegance and importance. The event marked the end of a period of tension between Britain and France, and the warm reception of the French fleet signified the strengthening of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The print serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of naval warfare, royalty, and the societal norms of the Victorian era.
