EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Prince of Wales frigate on the Serpentine" takes us back to a momentous day in London's history. Published on 15 July 1851, it showcases the majestic Prince of Wales frigate gracefully sailing along the serene waters of the Serpentine River in Hyde Park. The scene is filled with an air of elegance and tranquility as rowing boats glide alongside the magnificent vessel. The frigate's grandeur is accentuated by its towering masts and billowing sails, capturing the essence of maritime splendor. In this idyllic setting, ducks swim peacefully nearby, adding a touch of natural beauty to the composition. Transportation plays a central role in this artwork; from the tugboat guiding the frigate through its journey to rowing boats providing leisurely transportation for park visitors. This image offers a glimpse into London's bustling river life during that era. As we admire this exquisite engraving by Alexandre le Bihan, we are reminded not only of Britain's rich naval heritage but also of Prince Albert Edward (later known as King Edward VII), who held great affection for both sailing and Hyde Park. Through this print, we can almost feel ourselves transported back to that summer day in 1851 when all eyes were captivated by both nature's beauty and man-made marvels.
