Framed Print of Keys of the Fortress of Portsmouth, 1845. Creator: Unknown
Keys of the Fortress of Portsmouth, 1845....curious and antique emblems of authority...They are of bronze, of a deep gold colour; weigh two pounds and a half, and are fastened together by a purple ribbon, with deep gold fringe. They are each nine inches long; on the flutings is the following inscription; it should, however, be explained that the ancient keys, being much corroded, were mingled with a quantity of fresh metal, and recast in1814. The Keys of the Fortress of Portsmouth, presented to, and most graciously received by, the Prince Regent...on the twenty-first June, 1814; when Lieut.-General Houston was the Lieut.-Governor, and Major-General Fisher the Commanding Engineer. JOHN OWEN, Fecit. When her Majesty [Queen Victoria] received the keys on her first visit...she took them away with her in the carriage, and kept them for some time, to examine them.
