The song sheet has been especially arranged and illustrated to mark the occasion of Victoria's coronation. As the title states, it is the Victoria Coronation Quadrilles & Four Galopes including the celebrated Coronation Galop by Johann Strauss selected and arranged for the season 1838-39 by William Cunningham.
The black and white illustration by an unknown illustrator has a large garland arrangement containing flowers and thistles which fills the page and contains all the song typographic information inside. At the top of the illustration is an oval shaped group portrait featuring the coronation ceremony of Queen Victoria. This is all joined together at the top with a crown covered by a pair of ceremonial swords.
