EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment during the Prince of Wales' historic journey to Egypt in 1862. The image, titled 'The Prince of Wales in Egypt: the Royal Party leaving the Hall of Columns, Karnak,' depicts the future King Edward VII and his entourage making their way out of the majestic Hall of Columns at the ancient Karnak Temple. The Prince, dressed in formal attire and wearing a fez, is seen riding on horseback, surrounded by his companions, including Fadel Pacha, the Governor of Upper Egypt, who is mounted on a white donkey in the foreground. The Royal Party had spent the day exploring the ruins of Karnak, and the Prince had arranged for a religious service to be held in the Hall of Columns. The Reverend Canon Stanley officiated, and the Prince invited English travelers to attend. After a sumptuous lunch prepared on board a steamer, the group spent the remainder of the day examining the temple's magnificent monuments. The photograph offers a glimpse into the grandeur and adventure of the Prince's expedition to Egypt, which was a significant event in the Victorian era. The image's unknown creator masterfully captured the moment, with the intricately carved columns of the temple providing a breathtaking backdrop to the scene. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Egypt's ancient history and the fascination it held for travelers and royalty alike during this period.
