EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a series of sketches showing Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence, engaged in various sporting activities during his time at Cambridge University in 1883. The eldest son of Edward, Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, Prince Albert Victor was known for his love of sports and physical pursuits.
In these sketches, we see him participating in activities such as hockey, rowing, and boating with great enthusiasm and skill. His athletic prowess is evident as he navigates through each sport with grace and determination.
Tragically, Prince Albert Victor's promising future was cut short by his untimely death from pneumonia in January 1892. Despite this heartbreaking end to his life, these sketches serve as a poignant reminder of the vibrant young man he once was - full of energy and passion for life.
Through this photo print, we are given a glimpse into the world of a prince who found joy and fulfillment in sports while studying at one of England's most prestigious universities. It is a testament to his legacy that continues to be remembered through images like these that capture moments frozen in time.
