The Queen's Visit to Birmingham - Her Majesty Planting an Oak in the Grounds of Warwick Castle, 1858 Creator: Unknown
The Queen's Visit to Birmingham - Her Majesty Planting an Oak in the Grounds of Warwick Castle, 1858. The Queen, taking the Earl of Warwick's arm, walked across the fine lawn upon which the Yeomanry band was stationed. The Royal party then went towards the river underneath the beautiful cedars, and on a lovely slope the Queen planted an oak which Lord Warwick took from the hand of a servant. Prince Albert, at a suitable distance, planted a "Weliingtonia;" and in these operations Mr. Spink, gardener to the Earl of Warwick, and Mr. Cope, gardener to Sir W. W. Wynn, of Wynstanley, had the honour of assisting'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in British history: The Queen's Visit to Birmingham, where Her Majesty Queen Victoria planted an oak tree in the grounds of Warwick Castle in 1858. Dressed in elegant Victorian attire, the Queen, accompanied by Prince Albert, is seen taking the arm of Earl of Warwick, Lord George Guy Greville, as they make their way across the lush lawn. The Royal party proceeds towards the river, surrounded by beautiful cedars, where the Queen plants an oak tree, assisted by the Earl's gardener, Mr. Spink. Prince Albert plants a "Wellingtonia" tree nearby, and Sir William Wynn's gardener, Mr. Cope, also assists in the planting ceremony. The Queen's visit to Warwick Castle was widely reported in the press, with this image being published in the Illustrated London News. The photograph offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era, showcasing the aristocracy's love for nature and gardening, as well as their fashionable attire. The Queen's elegant crinoline dress, Prince Albert's formal attire, and the Earl's military uniform all add to the richness of the scene.
