The Grand Staircase, in the Palace at Wurzburg, 1845. Creator: Unknown
The Grand Staircase, in the Palace at Wurzburg, 1845. Queen Victoria at the Wurzburg Residence in Germany. Her Majesty has ascended the first flight of stairs, and is led by the Grand Duke of Bavaria, who is about to present to her the principal authorities of Wurzburg, to congratulate the Royal traveller. Prince Albert follows with a lady; and next the Royal suite. Sentries are placed on each flight of stairs, and they present arms as her Majesty passes; the walls are lined with shrubs, among which are figures bearing lamps...The ceiling of this staircase is most gorgeously painted...In this direction, also, are two colossal marble figures, supporting, in bold relief, a portrait of one of the Bishops of Wurzburg...The huge chandelier, as well as the eagle above it, is a fine specimen of woodcarving. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a momentous occasion in history - Queen Victoria's visit to the magnificent Palace at Wurzburg. The grandeur of the scene is evident as Her Majesty gracefully ascends the first flight of stairs, accompanied by the esteemed Grand Duke of Bavaria. As she reaches each step, sentries line the staircase and present arms in honor of their royal guest. The opulence of this architectural masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. Adorned with shrubs bearing lamps and an exquisitely painted ceiling, every detail speaks volumes about the craftsmanship and artistic vision that went into its creation. Two colossal marble figures stand proudly on either side, supporting a portrait of one of Wurzburg's revered Bishops. Noteworthy among these remarkable features is a striking woodcarved chandelier suspended from above, alongside an impressive eagle sculpture. These intricate designs are testaments to both skillful artistry and meticulous attention to detail. Prince Albert follows closely behind Queen Victoria with a lady companion while their Royal suite accompanies them on this memorable journey through time. This photograph captures not only a significant historical event but also showcases the splendor and elegance that defined European royalty during this era. Preserved for generations to come, this image offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary moment when two worlds converged - where British monarchy met German nobility against an enchanting backdrop that epitomizes regal magnificence.
