EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of "The Return of Lord Roberts" in a lithograph by Melton Prior. The image showcases the grandeur and significance of this event, as Lord Roberts makes his landing at Funchal, Madeira. The illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on 12 January 1901. In this scene, we witness a ceremonial committee welcoming Lord Roberts back to English soil after his military endeavors. The residents of Funchal gather around, filled with anticipation and excitement for this momentous occasion. The backdrop is set against the majestic Governors Palace, adding an air of regality to the scene. Lord Frederick Roberts himself stands tall amidst the crowd, exuding authority and dignity. His return symbolizes triumph and victory for England during a time when Germany's influence loomed over Europe. The engraving beautifully captures every detail - from the expressions on people's faces to their elaborate attire. It serves as a testament to Melton Prior's skill as an artist and his ability to bring historical events to life through his work. This print is not just a visual representation but also an insight into European history and culture during that era. It offers us a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the importance of commemorating significant moments in our shared heritage.
