專家說明

The French king, Louis-Philippe, landed at Portsmouth on 8 October 1844, for a Royal visit that was intended to strengthen the alliance with Queen Victoria, which had begun the previous year with her visit to the château d'Eu in Picardy. Louis-Philippe's reciprocal visit was the first visit to England by a French monarch since 1356. His arrival in Portsmouth in his paddle steamer, the Gomer, was one of several carefully staged pieces of pageantry that were widely reported in the newspapers over the following week. To welcome him the Queen'’s guns were repeatedly fired, causing smoke to build up on the anchorage, and, according to the Illustrated London News, 'the whole population thronged the beach', watching as with every 'moment this scene increased in interest'.
