EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'The Visit of the Prince of Wales to North America - the Government House, Charlotte Town, Prince Edward Island, 1860', showcases a significant historical moment as Prince Edward, later known as King Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland, paid a visit to Prince Edward Island, a dependency of the British Crown. The island's capital, Charlotte Town, is nestled on the Hillsborough River, near the south coast, boasting a population of approximately 4,000 residents. Notable structures in the town include the court-house, episcopal and Scotch churches, several chapels, barracks, and a fort. Charlotte Town also housed an ironfoundry and a manufacture of coarse woollens. The Lieutenant-Governor of Prince Edward Island at the time was George Dundas, Esq. The image depicts the grand Government House, which stands proudly as a testament to the British influence. The Prince's brief stay in this picturesque coastal town was an event of great importance for the residents, who eagerly anticipated the arrival of HRH Prince Albert Edward, Duke of Cornwall and York, and later King Edward VII. This engraved print was published in the esteemed 'Illustrated London News' in 1860, providing a glimpse into the grandeur of the royal visit and the beauty of the colonial landscape. The image captures the essence of the event, with the Government House standing prominently against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. This piece of history offers a unique insight into the 19th century, showcasing the fusion of royalty, colonialism, and the natural beauty of Prince Edward Island.
