The Prince and his Comrades: Camp-Fire after Dinner in the Terai, 1876. Creator: Unknown
The Prince [of Wales] and his Comrades: Camp-Fire after Dinner in the Terai, 1876. The future King Edward VII in India. Every night in camp a large fire of wood is lighted close to the mess-tent, and after dinner his Royal Highness and suite, with the guests of the evening, come out, well wrapped up in greatcoats, and sit all round the blazing fire and smoke cigars. Here in the jungle this can be done, for there is no crowd to break through and disturb such a free and open arrangement. It tells how far from the haunts of men the Terai is when a Prince and his suite can sit out in this comfortable way and enjoy themselves, unmolested by curious spectators'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Prince and his Comrades: Camp-Fire after Dinner in the Terai, 1876,' depicts a moment of relaxation and camaraderie in the heart of the Indian Terai region. The future King Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland, then known as the Prince of Wales, is seen seated in an armchair, surrounded by his comrades, all enjoying a campfire after dinner. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and freedom, as the Prince and his suite sit comfortably around the blazing fire, undisturbed by onlookers. The Terai region, located in present-day Nepal, was a far cry from the hustle and bustle of civilization during the 19th century. The Prince's ability to enjoy such an open and uninterrupted setting is a testament to the isolation of the area. The large campfire, lit close to the mess-tent, provided warmth and light, allowing the group to unwind and indulge in the simple pleasure of smoking cigars. The photograph, published in the 'Illustrated London News' in 1876, offers a glimpse into the Prince's life during his royal visit to India. The men, dressed in greatcoats and other outdoor apparel, sit on chairs and the ground, creating a scene of unity and friendship. The black and white image, with its focus on the warm glow of the campfire, beautifully captures the essence of an evening in the Terai wilderness.
