Reception of the Siamese Ambassadors, with Presents, by Her Majesty, at Windsor Castle, 1857. 'The Queen and the Court were assembled in state; and, as soon as the door of the audience-chamber was opened, the Ambassadors and their suite (eight persons altogether) appeared. Having made profound salaams, they threw themselves on their and knees, and, in the order shown in the Engraving, went up the room to the throne. The principal Ambassador, increasing his prostrations, commenced to read his address. The exit from the Queen's presence was accomplished by a retrograde movement, the Ambassadors keeping their faces always to her Majesty'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
