EDITORS COMMENTS
The Prince of Wales and Dover Harbour: A Historic Moment Captured in Engraving". This print showcases a significant event in British history - the laying of the foundation stone at Dover Harbour. The engraving, created by William Simpson after an original illustration for The Illustrated London News, transports us back to 1893 when this momentous occasion took place. In this remarkable image, we see His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, accompanied by a distinguished party on his visit to Dover. The prince's presence adds an air of grandeur and importance to the scene as he participates in this ceremonial act. Dover Harbour itself serves as a magnificent backdrop with its majestic cliffs and bustling maritime activity. This construction project was undoubtedly crucial for both trade and defense purposes during that era. The attention to detail captured by Simpson is truly commendable. Every figure is meticulously depicted, ensuring that each member of royalty is recognizable alongside their entourage. This print not only commemorates a specific event but also provides insight into royal visits during this period. It allows us to glimpse into the world of ceremony and celebration surrounding such occasions. As we admire this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, it reminds us of the enduring fascination with royalty throughout history. It serves as a testament to our ongoing admiration for those who hold positions of power and influence within society.
