Arrival of the Queen at Lausanne, 1890. 'The arrival of the Royal travellers at Lausanne, at eight in the evening of April 22. is also the subject of a Sketch by a correspondent in that town, Mr. Henry Bowring. A deputation of five of the English residents, introduced at Geneva by Mr. Barton, the British Consul, and by Mr. A. Galland, the Vice-Consul, at Lausanne, waited on her Majesty [Queen Victoria] at the railway stations of those places, respectively; Lady Emily Peel and Countess Kinsky were personally received by her Majesty. At Lausanne, Mr. and Mrs. Galland were accompanied by their child, a little boy three years and a half old, who presented to her Majesty a large bouquet of wild flowers, for which the Queen gave him a kiss. Princess Beatrice left the train and went into the first-class waiting-room to meet Countess Kinsky, whom her Royal Highness brought out to see the Queen. The streets and chief buildings of Lausanne were illuminated'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
