EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of British printing history, as the Prince of Wales and his brother Prince Alfred pay a visit to Messrs. Day and Son's Lithographic Establishment in London in 1856. The brothers, accompanied by their host Mr. Day, are seen engaged in a tour of the printing workshop, where they were eager to inspect the various processes of lithography and witness the progress of the important chromolithography projects underway at this esteemed firm. Upon their arrival, the young Princes were received by Mr. Day, who showcased several original drawings that were soon to be copied onto lithographic stones. The Royal party then proceeded through the draughtsmen's room, where they inspected numerous lithographs in various stages of completion, primarily depicting incidents from the recent war. The brothers' curiosity led them to pay close attention to the steel and copper plate printing processes, which were integral to the production of high-quality lithographs. The visit provided an opportunity for the printers to showcase their craft to the future monarchs, while also offering a glimpse into the intricacies of the lithographic art form that was rapidly gaining popularity during the Victorian era. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of lithographic printing and the esteemed role that Messrs. Day and Son played in the industry during the mid-19th century.
