| Notes |
Queen Victoria wrote a long account of the day in her Journal, culminating the visit to the Opera. The party drove in a number of carriages through ‘enormous’ crowds. When they arrived the Queen pushed the Emperor forward to indicate that the occasion was in his honour. Partant pour la Syrie and the National Anthem were played before the performance of the second act of Fidelio. One of a number of prints detailing the exchange of visits between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and Napoleon III and the Empress Eugénie: the Imperial couple to Queen Victoria at Windsor in April 1855 and the Queen and Prince to Paris in August, 1855: 1902,1011.9134, 9129, 9130, 9133 Cataloguing supported by the Pilgrim Trust |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
