Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden: embarkation in the royal yacht Osborne…, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden: embarkation in the royal yacht Osborne at Gottenborg - from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. The future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in Scandinavia. '...the landing-place in front of the yacht Osborne was kept by a detachment of Swedish artillery...The local authorities also erected stands with braziers in them, to show light to the procession, while the carriages of the Royal party moved from the railway station to the wharf. The Royal yacht contributed to this animated night-scene the fire of blue lights, which made it as bright as day, and threw over the upturned faces on the quay, and on the masts and rigging of the ships a glare, from which the scarlet uniforms of the narrow line of marines on the poop-deck shone out more brightly by contrast; and when, by-and-by, the band advanced to play on board during dinnertime, the glitter of the helmets and swords, added to the cocked hats and uniforms already upon deck, made up a very pretty piece of ship effect. The Royal party dined and slept on board the Osborne, which, early next morning, made a smooth passage across the Sound and entered the port of Elsinore'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a momentous occasion in history - the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden in 1864. The image shows the royal couple embarking on the royal yacht Osborne at Gottenborg, with a detachment of Swedish artillery keeping watch over the landing-place.
The scene is described as an animated night-scene, with stands erected by local authorities lit up by braziers to guide the procession. The Royal yacht itself adds to the spectacle with blue lights illuminating the area, creating a bright and lively atmosphere.
The future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra are seen amidst this grandeur, surrounded by marines in scarlet uniforms on deck. The band playing on board during dinnertime adds to the ship's effect, with helmets and swords glinting in the light.
After dining and sleeping aboard the Osborne, early next morning sees a smooth passage across the Sound as they enter port at Elsinore. This print truly captures a moment of regal elegance and historical significance, showcasing not only royalty but also maritime splendor from centuries past.
