The image showcases the grandeur of 19th-century aristocracy as it depicts an exterior scene in London's City of Westminster. In this historic event, Queen Victoria, known as Alexandrina Victoria during her reign, stands regally dressed in her royal attire. She presents the prestigious medal to Colonel Sir Thomas Trowbridge for his brave service during the Crimean War (1853-1856). Surrounding them are members of the army and other distinguished individuals who have gathered outside Guildhall Library and Art Gallery. The artist, Sir John Tenniel, renowned for his illustrations in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, skillfully brings this momentous occasion to life through intricate details. The lithograph beautifully portrays the bustling street with horse guards parading along Avenue Lane. It provides a glimpse into Victorian London with its majestic buildings lining the road. As we admire this monochrome print by Thomas Picken from Day & Son publishers, we are transported back to a time when monarchs held immense power and influence.
