Landing of Queen Victoria in Victoria Harbour, Jersey, on the 3d September 1846
In July, King Charles III and Queen Camilla will visit Jersey.
This is the opportunity to take a look in the archives of the Lord Coutanche Library and to rediscover past royal visits to the Island, through books, pamphlets, ephemera, prints, and newspapers.
Here are some examples.
