EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history as The Prince of Wales stands proudly at Penton Hook Lock, near Chertsey-on-Thames. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the elegance and grace of royalty against the backdrop of a serene river Thames. The Prince's regal presence is enhanced by the surrounding boats that dot the water, adding to the picturesque scene. A tugboat can be seen nearby, symbolizing both power and transportation during that era. This image serves as a reminder of how important rivers were for travel and trade in those times. The composition exudes tranquility with its monochromatic tones, allowing viewers to focus on every intricate detail captured by the skilled photographer. The print was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on June 25th, 1898 - a testament to its historical significance. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to an era where means of transport were vastly different from what we know now. It offers us a glimpse into royal life along with insights into how people traveled during that period. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind photography but also provides us with a window into our past through one man's journey along the majestic River Thames.
