EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Arch at Broughton in 1844, a festal arch erected to honor Queen Victoria during her stay at nearby Burghley House. The arch stands proudly adorned with a crown and Union Jack flags, while a sign reads "Fear God and Honor the Queen". Considered one of the most tastefully constructed arches in the village of Broughton, its preparations were extensive. The Northampton Herald describes how the entrance and exit to this place were beautifully embellished with triumphal arches made from evergreens and flowers meticulously arranged. As Her Majesty's carriages swiftly passed through, the entire population of Broughton lined up on either side of the wood, dressed in their finest holiday attire. Their overwhelming joy was evident as they seized even a momentary glance at Queen Victoria. Published in "Illustrated London News" in 1844, this engraving transports us back to an era when Britain celebrated its beloved monarchs with grand gestures of patriotism. The image showcases not only architectural beauty but also highlights nature's role as topiary hedges frame the scene. Though created by an unknown artist, this historical photograph evokes feelings of nostalgia for Victorian England and reminds us of a time when communities came together to welcome their queen. It serves as a testament to both British pride and reverence for royalty that prevailed during that era.
