EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Cross, Banbury, Oxfordshire" in 1910. The stone monument was originally erected in 1859 to commemorate the marriage of Queen Victoria's daughter, Victoria, the Princess Royal. This Victorian Gothic structure stood as a significant landmark and symbolized the rich history of Banbury. Interestingly, the cross mentioned in the famous children's rhyme "Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross" had been destroyed during the 17th century. However, this newer monument became an iconic representation of Banbury's past. The postcard is part of the Moreland Series and beautifully captures both the architectural brilliance and vibrant colors of this commemorative structure. It serves as a testament to England's rich heritage and its commitment to preserving historical landmarks. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, this print also highlights how communication methods have evolved over time. Postcards like these played a crucial role in connecting people across distances during that era. Overall, this image offers us a glimpse into both architectural excellence and cultural significance. It reminds us of our shared history while celebrating an important moment in British royal family lineage – when Princess Victoria Adelaide Mary tied her knot with Prince Frederick William of Prussia (later Emperor Frederick III).
