Charming Scene from the Oxford Pageant : The Happy Days of Charles I. at Oxford. 1907

For Sale is a Full Page taken from "The Sphere," June 29th, 1907, showing a Photograph called "A Charming Scene From The Oxford Pageant : The Happy Days of Charles I. at Oxford." 

A charming episode in the pageant illustrates Charles I. in his happy days at Oxford (1636). To the strains of musicians and minstrels on deck a state barge is rowed slowly up the river bearing the King and Queen Henrietta Maria, with the princes, Charles and James. Putting to shore the royal party is received by Archbishop Laud and the heads of houses and officials of the University, who have assembled at the riverside to give them welcome. A halt is made while a pavane is danced upon the bank to the music of a band of players ensconced under the shallow of the trees, and after the measure is finished the barge moves slowly up the river with its royal burden.

Condition is Very Good.
