EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment as HRH Prince Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales, visits Independence Hall in Philadelphia on the 10th of October, 1860. The future King Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland explores North America, making a pit stop at this iconic American landmark. Independence Hall, a National Historic Site in Pennsylvania, holds significant historical importance as it is where the Declaration of Independence was adopted and signed, and where George Washington was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the army. The building's walls are adorned with portraits of the revolution's heroes, and the old cracked Liberty Bell, whose deep tones first proclaimed liberty throughout the land, stands proudly on an elevated pedestal. The Prince of Wales is seen here taking in the sights, likely accompanied by a guide, as he learns about the rich history of this historic building. The photograph, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when royalty and history intertwined. The black and white image, with its intricate details and atmospheric quality, is a testament to the enduring allure of Independence Hall and the significance of its role in shaping the world we know today.
