Le Roi Visite la Chapelle St. Georges (Monument de la Princesse Charlotte) / (The King's Visit to the Monument of Princess Charlotte in St. George's Chapel)

1846
Not on view
In October 1844 Louis Philippe, King of the French, crossed the Channel and made a week-long visit to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at Windsor Castle. This image shows the king, queen and prince visiting a marble memorial to Princess Charlotte (George IV's daughter and heir who had died in childbirth in 1817). Matthew Wyatt designed the impressive multi-figure structurel erected in 1820 in St. George's Chapel. The print is part of a bound set of twenty-five lithographs published in 1846 to commemorate Louis's visit. Related text, pp. 25-26 describes the event.
