EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, created by C.R for the Illustrated London News in 1876, immortalizes a significant moment in Gibraltar's military history. The future King Edward VII, then known as H.R.H. The Prince of Wales, is depicted in the image, engaging in a ceremonial act of laying the foundation-stone of the new Alexandra Battery at the Head Mole. Dressed in an elegant military uniform, the Prince is surrounded by soldiers and men at work on the construction site. The 38-ton gun battery, a crucial addition to Gibraltar's defenses, is taking shape in the background. The Prince's visit to Gibraltar was marked by grandeur and pomp, as evidenced by the lifting gear and mechanical mechanisms employed in the foundation-laying ceremony. The Prince's attire, with its rich colors and intricate details, adds to the overall visual appeal of the image. This photograph is a testament to the grandeur of the British monarchy during the 19th century and the importance of Gibraltar as a strategic military stronghold. The Illustrated London News, a leading newspaper of the time, documented this event for its readers, providing them with a glimpse into the ceremonial proceedings and the fashion of the day. The image, with its meticulous attention to detail and evocative composition, continues to captivate viewers and offer insights into the past.
