EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch captures a pivotal moment in the historic 1876 visit of the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, to the town of New Goa in India. The future monarch embarked on a grand tour of the British Raj, covering more than 21 towns and cities across modern-day India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Nepal, between October 1875 and May 1876. In this image, the Prince lands at New Goa with the Governor-General and his suite, disembarking from the Governor's yacht, the Serapis steam-barge. The impressive Government House can be seen in the background, a symbol of British imperial power and influence. This sketch, created by L.B, an officer aboard the Serapis, was published in the Illustrated London News in 1876, providing a visual record of this significant moment in history. The image showcases the Prince and his entourage, dressed in formal attire, as they make their way ashore, surrounded by the bustling activity of the boats and the vibrant setting of New Goa. This image offers a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of the British Raj during the late 19th century.
