EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the grand Opening of the Royal Courts of Justice. The engraving, created by William Heysham Overend, showcases the majestic scene that unfolded on December 9,1882. In this remarkable image, we are transported to the Central Hall where all eyes are fixed upon Queen Victoria as she stands at the dais located at the north end. Dressed in regal attire befitting her status, Her Majesty is seen declaring the courts open with an air of grace and authority. The opulent architecture surrounding her adds to the sense of grandeur and importance. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable; every element from clothing to throne has been meticulously depicted. It offers us a glimpse into not only a historical event but also into royal life during that era. As we admire this print, we can't help but feel a sense of reverence for both monarchy and justice intertwined within it. The Royal Courts of Justice stand as a symbol of power and fairness while Queen Victoria's presence reminds us of her role as head of state. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an exquisite piece that allows us to appreciate art's ability to capture moments frozen in time. This print serves as a testament to our rich history and invites us to reflect on how far we have come since that monumental day over a century ago.
