Victoria House, the Residence of the Prince of Wales whilst in Ottawa, 1860: A Glimpse into a Royal Visit This black and white image, taken from the pages of the Illustrated London News in 1860, offers a rare glimpse into the past as it depicts Victoria House, the residence of the Prince of Wales, Albert Edward, during his visit to Ottawa, Canada. The future King Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland is seen here, making his way through the picturesque streets of Ottawa in a horse-drawn vehicle. The Prince of Wales, who was also known as HRH Prince Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay, was in Ottawa as part of a royal tour of North America. The visit was significant as it marked the first time a British monarch had traveled to Canada since the Confederation of 1867. The Victoria House, which served as the Prince's residence during his stay in Ottawa, is an impressive architectural masterpiece. Its grandeur is evident in the image, with its imposing facade, tall columns, and intricate details. The building, which no longer exists, was designed by the renowned Canadian architect, Thomas Fuller, and was built specifically for the Prince's visit. The image also provides a fascinating insight into the transportation methods of the time, with horse-drawn vehicles being the primary mode of transport. The Prince's carriage, pulled by two horses, is seen making its way along a quiet, tree-lined road, surrounded by the beauty of the Ottawa landscape. This engraving, which is part of the extensive collection of The Print Collector, offers a unique perspective into a significant moment in history, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of a royal visit over 150 years ago.
