1897 Anniversary Celebration Celebrations Crew Deck Gathered Jubilee Pageantry Procession Reign Review Siamese Slides Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white Victorian lantern slide depicts an historic moment from Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 1897. The image captures a Naval Review, an impressive display of the British Royal Navy's power and grandeur, held in London to mark the Queen's sixty-year reign. The monarch, dressed in her regal attire, is seen reviewing the fleet from a balcony or a ship, surrounded by her courtiers and high-ranking military officers. The unique aspect of this photograph is the presence of the Siamese crew gathered on the deck of one of the ships. The Siamese Kingdom, now modern-day Thailand, had maintained diplomatic relations with Britain since the mid-19th century. Their participation in the Diamond Jubilee Naval Review symbolized the strong ties between the two nations. The late 19th century was a time of great tradition and pageantry, and the Diamond Jubilee celebrations were no exception. The anniversary of Queen Victoria's reign was a significant milestone, and the British people took great pride in showcasing their monarch's longevity and strength. The Naval Review was just one of the many grand events held to honor the Queen and her reign. This lantern slide, with its intriguing historical significance, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and tradition of the late 19th century and the British monarchy. It is a reminder of the rich history that shaped the world we live in today.
