The Prince's arrival at Fredericton, New Brunswick, 1860. Creator: Smyth
The Prince's arrival at Fredericton, New Brunswick, 1860. The future King Edward VII visits Canada. 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 image captures the excitement and grandeur of The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII's, arrival in Fredericton, New Brunswick, in 1860. The future monarch's visit to Canada was a significant event in the British Empire, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the patriotic fervor that greeted him. The Prince's journey up the St. John River was described as the most delightful experience since his arrival in Canada. The fertile and beautiful countryside is reflected in the calm waters as the paddle steamer, adorned with flags and banners, approaches the town. The Prince is shown on deck, waving to the cheering crowds gathered on the riverbanks and in boats. Fredericton, the capital city of New Brunswick, was decorated with triumphal arches, flags, and other decorations in honor of the royal visit. Several volunteer military companies and a large crowd of people welcomed the Prince, who was received with great enthusiasm. This engraving, published in the Illustrated London News, captures the spirit of the event and the sense of pride and patriotism that marked the British Empire during this period. The image also serves as a reminder of the significant role that religion and Christianity played in colonial society, with a church visible in the background. Overall, this photograph is a testament to the enduring power of royal visits to bring people together and create lasting memories.
