Reception of Her Majesty at Berwick-Upon-Tweed, 1850. Queen Victoria travels north by train. 'A triumphal arch was erected at the north end of the bridge: its extreme height was 55 feet from the level of the rails, and 22 feet wide; it was surmounted by an entablature, with a richly-decorated frieze...Beneath the arch was placed the emblem of the Union; on the abutments were the arms of York, Newcastle, Berwick, and Edinburgh, on shields, surrounded by Grecian ornaments: from the arch were suspended large banners; the whole being surmounted by the Royal arms of England powerfully painted in imitation of statuary. Conspicuous amongst the mottoes was "The last act of the Union." Encircling the columns were "God save the Queen and Prince Albert," and "God save the Royal Family". From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
