1886 Dais Gallery Knighted Liverpool Mayor Visits
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of Liverpool's rich history: the knighting of the Mayor of Liverpool by Queen Victoria during her visit to the city for the Liverpool Exhibition in 1886. The image, taken in the Central Gallery, depicts the monarch seated regally on a raised dais, her majestic presence exuding an aura of authority and grace. The Mayor, dressed in full regalia, stands before her, his eyes fixed on the ground as he receives the honor of knighthood from the Queen's hand. The occasion marked a significant moment in the city's connection to the British monarchy, and the image serves as a poignant reminder of the close relationship between Liverpool and the royal family during the 19th century. The grandeur and opulence of the setting, with its ornate decorations and grandiose architecture, further underscores the importance of the event. This photograph, a testament to a bygone era, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the role that Liverpool played in the broader narrative of British history.
