Voyage de Sa Majésté Louis-Philippe 1er, Roi des Français au Château de Windsor (Visit of His Majesty Louis Philippe I, King of the French to Windsor Castle)
Not on view
Binding of white paper over boards, with text and ornament printed in gold. The contents illustrate an October 1844 visit of King Louis Philippe of France to Windsor Castle, during which he was invested with the Order of the Garter by Queen Victoria. The king left France on October 7th and arrived in England on October 8th. On October 10th he visited Twickenham and Claremont House. On October 11th he received a deputation from the City of London, was invested with the Order of the Garter, and attended a Banquet in St. George's Hall. On October 12th he visited Eton College. On October 14th he began his return journey and arrived back in France on October 15th. The Queen and Prince Albert had visited the French king at Chateau d'Eu the previous year, and these reciprocal visits helped to establish what was informally referred to as new Entente Cordiale between Britain and France.
