The Prince ascending the St. John, 1860. Creator: Smyth
The Prince ascending the St. John, 1860. The future King Edward VII visits Canada. The Prince landed under a Royal salute, fired by the Volunteer Artillery; a guard of honour, also of the volunteers, presenting arms and lowering colours with most creditable precision. The cheers were deafening for a moment until the Prince got into his carriage, when loyalty overpowered every other sentiment, and the crowd rushed rather tumultuously round the equipage, scattered the aldermen and other dignitaries of the town before them till they got sight of the Prince, when they stood still and cheered till the hills echoed again'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print, titled "The Prince ascending the St. John," depicts a pivotal moment in Canadian history as the future King Edward VII, then known as Prince Albert Edward, pays a visit to Canada in 1860. The scene unfolds on the banks of the St. John River, with a grand paddle steamer anchored in the foreground. The Prince, dressed in formal attire, stands on the boat's deck, receiving a royal salute from the Volunteer Artillery. A guard of honor, also made up of volunteers, presents arms and lowers colors with impressive precision. The excitement of the crowd is palpable as they cheer for the Prince, their loyalty overpowering all other sentiments. The deafening cheers momentarily halt as the Prince enters his carriage, only to resume once more when he is in sight. The people, a sea of faces, rush towards the carriage, scattering dignitaries before them in their fervor to catch a glimpse of their future monarch. This engraving, created by Smyth and published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the patriotic fervor that surrounded the Royal visit. The Union Jack and other British flags fly high, symbolizing the strong connection between Britain and its colonies. The Prince's visit served as a metaphor for the unity and loyalty that bound the British Empire together, a bond that would endure for generations to come.
