Arrival of the Emperor of Austria at St. Petersburg, from a sketch by our special artist, 1874. Celebrations to mark the royal wedding of Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia, and Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. 'His Majesty was met at the railway station by the Emperor of Russia, the Prince of Wales and the other English Princes, the Czarewitch and Russian Grand Dukes. The two Emperors were conveyed from the station through the city to the Imperial Palace in a closed carriage, followed by General Trepoft, Chief of Police, in a sleigh drawn by two horses; and the Princes came after, in sleighs of the same kind. They passed beneath a triumphal arch from Great Morskaya, as shown in our Illustration'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
