Opening of the International Exhibition: Earl Granville presenting the address to the Duke of Cambridge - from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company, 1862. '...a richly-ornamented throne had been erected, in front of which gilded chairs were placed for the Queen's commissioners. In the central place is the Duke of Cambridge; on his right, the Crown Prince of Prussia, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Earl of Derby; on his left are Prince Oscar of Sweden, the Lord Chamberlain, Viscount Palmerston, and the Speaker of the House of Commons...at the foot of the dais...stood the Royal commissioners...Earl Granville, dressed in the official uniform of blue and gold embroidery, with the ribbon and star of the Garter, stands a pace or two before the other commissioners, the Duke of Buckingham in blue and gold uniform, Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., Sir Wentworth Dilke, Bart., and Mr. Thomas Fairbairn, all of whom wore the uniform of Deputy Lieutenants. The somewhat lengthy address which was given in the official programme was not spoken; but, after a few sentences which contained its substance had been addressed by Earl Granville to the Queen's commissioners, the address was handed to the Duke of Cambridge, who read a [written] reply'.
