Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden: the landing at Stockholm…, 1864. Creator: Mason Jackson
Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden: the landing at Stockholm, from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. The future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in Scandinavia. The crowd of spectators on the quay presently saw the Royal visitors approach...The quay reached and foot set on terra firma, it was but a step to the carriages; and, as the members successively of the Royal family took their places in them, running footmen, with flambeaux, dashed to the front, the quaintly-costumed horsemen galloped at their side, the coaches themselves tore off at speed, and an exciting spectacle was presented...The torchlight procession, for such it was, from the quay to the palace, was indeed a curious sight. The "Charles the Twelfth" guards are the most antiquated in appearance of any troops in Europe, since they wear the same broad-skirted blue coats, looped up in the same fashion, faced with the same yellow facings, and accompanied by the same three-cornered hats, as the ambitious conqueror saw on parade-grounds and battle-fields out of number. These mounted warriors were followed by officials, also on horseback, and also strangely apparelled, carrying flambeaux'. Illustration from "Illustrated London News", [1864]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a historic moment in time - the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden in 1864. The future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra are seen landing at Stockholm, greeted by a crowd of eager spectators on the quay. As they step onto solid ground, they are swiftly whisked away in carriages surrounded by running footmen with flambeaux and quaintly-costumed horsemen galloping alongside.
The torchlight procession from the quay to the palace is described as a curious sight, with the antiquated "Charles the Twelfth" guards leading the way in their distinctive blue coats and three-cornered hats. Following them are officials on horseback, also dressed in unique attire, carrying flambeaux to light up the night.
This illustration from "Illustrated London News" truly brings this historical event to life, showcasing not only the grandeur of royal visits but also highlighting the traditions and customs of Sweden during that era. Mason Jackson's attention to detail and skillful depiction make this print a valuable piece of history that allows us to glimpse into a bygone era filled with pomp and ceremony.
