- This is a study for the commemoration picture of Queen Victoria’s state visit to Glasgow on 22 August 1888. It took Lavery two years to complete this important commission. The finished painting is now in the collection of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.
During the Queen’s visit, she opened Glasgow’s City Chambers and paid a visit to the International Exhibition which took place in Kelvingrove Park. The exhibition attracted over five million visitors and led to the building of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. The Queen continued on to Balmoral after her visit to Glasgow.

- Photographs and photographers were present from the very beginning of the V&A's history and the Museum has an extensive collection of images from the 1850s through to the present which documents the construction and development of the V&A and the South Kensington site.
Originally collected by the National Art Library as part of a programme to record works of art, architecture and design in the interest of public education, these topographic and architectural views were valued as records and as source material for students of architecture and design. As well as being crucial records of the history of the V&A, and an important element within the National Art Library's visual encyclopaedia, these photographs are also significant artefacts in the history of the art of photography.
