The Queen and Princes of Oude and Suite at Drury-Lane Theatre, 1857. Creator: Unknown
The Queen and Princes of Oude and Suite at Drury-Lane Theatre, [London], 1857. Her Majesty [Queen Malika Kishwar] was accompanied by the Princes and a large suite, including two or three European ladies. The Royal party occupied four boxes, the Queen and her ladies being in the Royal box, the Princes and gentlemen of their Court in the adjoining boxes. This, being the first appearance of her Majesty at any public place, created considerable interest and curiosity. The effect of so many and varied Oriental costumes was rich and peculiar, and the blue and silver tissue hung entirely over the Royal box for the purpose of shrouding the Queen from vulgar gaze gave an air of mystery to the dark faces, rich dresses, and flashing jewels which were dimly seen through it...the interest and astonishment of the Royal party seeming to increase...during the pantomime'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
