The Prince of Wales in Canada - the Orangemen's Arch at Toronto, 1860. Creator: Unknown
The Prince of Wales in Canada - the Orangemen's Arch at Toronto, 1860. The future King Edward VII in North America. The outburst of Orangeism in Upper Canada led...to several unpleasant results, and was the means of preventing the Prince of Wales landing at Kingston and Belleville...After a correspondence of some length between the Mayor of Toronto and the Duke of Newcastle, the Orangemen, however, gave way, and the Prince made a triumphal entry. But, in spite of the engagement entered into by the Orangemen, and under which solemn promise alone the Prince was induced to land, the Orange arch was decorated with offensive emblems and paintings - bearing an Orange flag and a portrait of King William III. It was thought that the Prince, in consequence, would refuse to receive the Mayor and Council at the levee; but, after an apology from the Mayor, his Royal Highness gave permission for their presentation. Notwithstanding the stumbling-block thrown in the way of the Prince by injudicious over-zeal in the matter of the Orange arch, his Royal Highness met at Toronto with a reception, upon the whole, worthy of the place and of the loyal character for which the city, as well as the province at large, is deservedly celebrated'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph captures a pivotal moment in Canadian history, as the future King Edward VII, then known as the Prince of Wales, makes his way through Toronto in 1860. The Prince's visit to Canada was not without controversy, as tensions between the Orange Order, a Protestant fraternal organization, and the Catholic community had reached a boiling point. The Orangemen, a militant wing of the Orange Order, had initially refused to allow the Prince to land in Kingston and Belleville due to their opposition to his Catholic mother, Queen Victoria. After lengthy negotiations between the Mayor of Toronto and the Duke of Newcastle, the Orangemen eventually relented, allowing the Prince to make a triumphant entry into the city. However, despite the agreement reached, the Orangemen decorated the archway through which the Prince would pass with offensive emblems and a portrait of King William III, a Protestant monarch known for his role in the Glorious Revolution against Catholic King James II. The Prince was reportedly displeased by this display, but ultimately allowed the Mayor and Council to present themselves at his levee, accepting their apology. Despite the Orange Order's attempts to disrupt the Prince's visit, Toronto welcomed him with a reception worthy of the city's loyal character. This photograph is a testament to the complex political and religious tensions that shaped Canada in the mid-19th century, and the resilience of its people in the face of adversity." This photograph, taken from the archives of Heritage Images, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in Canadian history. The creator of the photograph is unknown, but the image itself is a valuable reminder of the rich and complex history of Canada and its people.
