EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Lecture on the Egyptian War, by Mr Melton Prior before the Prince of Wales at the Savage Club" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases an intriguing scene where renowned illustrator and journalist, Mr Melton Prior, delivers a lecture on the Anglo-Egyptian War before an esteemed audience including HRH The Prince of Wales. The setting is none other than London's prestigious Savage Club, known for its intellectual gatherings and distinguished members. As Mr Prior passionately discusses his experiences during the war, journalists and illustrators attentively listen while capturing every detail with their pens and brushes. The presence of HRH The Prince of Wales adds an air of importance to this occasion as he engages in conversation with fellow attendees. His interest in world affairs is evident as he holds a pipe of peace symbolizing diplomacy amidst conflict. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on 3rd March 1883, providing readers with a visual insight into this remarkable event. Preserved within private collections over time, it now resurfaces thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to that evening when knowledge merged with artistry and influential minds united under one roof. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil and war, there remains space for enlightenment and discourse.
