EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from the Liszt Collection captures a momentous event in British history - Queen Victoria's visit to the Scottish border town of Kelso in 1867. The photograph showcases the magnificent stronghold, Kelso Castle, which served as a fortress and symbol of power for centuries. As Her Majesty arrived at this historic site, she was greeted by an awe-inspiring display of fireworks and beacon fires illuminating the night sky. The grandeur of the scene is beautifully depicted in this old print, transporting us back to a time when such spectacles were rare and cherished. The image also offers a glimpse into Floors Castle, where Queen Victoria admired the breathtaking view of fireworks cascading over the Scottish landscape. This enchanting engraving evokes feelings of nostalgia and wonderment as we witness this extraordinary moment through Victorian eyes. Kelso's significance as a strategic border town between England and Scotland adds another layer to this snapshot. It serves as a reminder of Great Britain's rich history and its enduring royal traditions that have shaped its identity throughout centuries. This remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection encapsulates not only an important historical event but also embodies quintessential elements of Victorian aesthetics - elegance, sophistication, and timeless beauty.
