About MeNegative looking along a street laid with tram lines, with Edward VII and Alexandra outside a building on the right of the image, apparently boarding a horse drawn carriage. The building is decorated with bunting and decorations, including a banner reading "WELCOME TO OUR KING AND QUEEN" and the flag of the United States of America. Clustered outside this building are several pine trees.Crowds are gatthered on the opposite side of the street and several onlookers appear to have climbed walls and buildings for a better view.
The image is quite over exposed.
1880s?
