[Queen Victoria's visit to Ireland, 1900.] Eleven stereoscopic pairs of images, each captioned, detailing scenes from the arrival of the Royal Yacht at Kingstown to the Review in Phoenix Park, Dublin.

The eleven pairs of black and white photographic prints all in very good condition, each on the usual card mount, with printed publishers' details and caption. Each image is roughly 8 x 7.5 cm, with curved top corners, and the mounts are 8.5 x 17.5 cm. The eleven captions are: 'Arrival of the Royal Yacht at Kingstown, Ireland'; 'Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, leaving Kingstown for Dublin, Ireland'; 'Marines on Parade after having acted as Guard of Honor to the Queen at Kingstown, Ireland'; 'Miss May Robinson and the bouquet she presented to the Queen at Kingstown, Ireland'; 'The Royal Pavilion at Kingstown, Ireland'; 'Building representing the Old Gates of the City of Dublin - through here the Queen passed - Ireland'; 'The ancient Keys of the City of Dublin, presented to her Majesty by the Lord-Mayor - Ireland'; 'T.R.H. the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, at the review, Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland'; 'The Gallant 21st Lancers of Omdurman fame, in Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland', 'Viceregal Lodge, Phoenix Park, Dublin, the Queen's residence while in Ireland'; 'Viceregal Lodge, Phoenix Park, Dublin, the Queen's residence while in Ireland'; '"Tickets Please." Yes Sorr! an' Welcome! for we're going to help give her Majesty a "Caed Mille Failte."' The Queen's visit was hastily arranged, it was said to drum up support for the Boer War (see the reference to Omdurman among the captions). The pro-nationalist Freeman's Journal commented after the event that 'the little old lady' had exhibited 'pluck' and had ‘conquered her repugnance towards Ireland in order to put in a stroke for her Army, her Empire and her Throne'. The 'Building representing the Old Gates of the City of Dublin - through here the Queen passed' was a hastily-assembled seventy-foot mock-up of a mediaeval castle in canvas and timber. The visit was heavily stage-managed and considered a success, despite boycotts from nationalists.
