As his departure approached, another engraving showcased HRH aboard HMS "Sultan, " bidding farewell to the people he had touched during his stay. A bear trophy at Marlborough House served as a reminder of his remarkable achievements and contributions. In 1890, HRH inaugurated the International Exhibition in Edinburgh with utmost grace and dignity. The chromolitho print immortalized this historic event as he opened it on May 1st amidst much fanfare. The seas were not always calm for HRH, as depicted in an engraving capturing HMS Galatea battling a cyclone in the Indian Ocean under his command.

His commitment to humanitarian causes extended beyond borders as seen through engravings showcasing visits made by him to various places affected by hardship or disaster. These images stood testament to HRH's compassion towards those less fortunate than himself. In 1887, an engraving commemorating Her Majesty's Jubilee Year served as a memento encapsulating their enduring partnership throughout decades filled with triumphs and challenges.
