The Prince of Wales in Canada, 1860. Creator: Smyth
The Prince of Wales in Canada, 1860. The future King Edward VII on a royal vist to North America. The Prince reached Fredericton, New Brunswick, on the 4th August. A Fredericton despatch of that date says: " To-day is the most delightful experienced by the Prince of Wales since his arrival. The boat ran up the St. John's River, through a fertile and beautiful country. The Prince was on deck most of the time, and was loudly cheered by groups of people in boats and on projecting points, and saluted by the waving of flags, ringing of bells, firing of muskets, &c. which were answered by the steamer's whistle and band. He arrived at Fredericton at six o'clock in the evening, and was received by several volunteer military companies and a large crowd of people. The town is decorated with three handsome triumphal arches, flags, &c".'From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white print captures a pivotal moment in the royal history of Canada, as HRH Prince Albert Edward, later known as King Edward VII, embarks on a joyful journey up the St. John River in New Brunswick during his visit to North America in 1860. The Prince, who would later ascend to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland, is depicted on deck of a paddle steamer, surrounded by the lush greenery of the forested riverbanks. The scene is filled with a palpable sense of excitement and patriotic fervor, as local residents line the shores to welcome the future monarch with boats, flags, and enthusiastic cheers. The Prince's arrival in Fredericton was described in contemporary newspapers as 'the most delightful experience' since his arrival, with the town adorned with triumphal arches and decorated in honor of the royal visitor. This image, created by the skilled hand of Smyth and originally published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of royal pageantry and national pride.
