EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'The Basin of Minas - Progress of the Prince of Wales in British North America,' showcases a series of breathtaking views illustrating the passage of H.M.S. "Styx" through the Minas Basin in 1860. The future King Edward VII, who was on board the ship, is making his royal visit to North America. The sequence of images begins with the picturesque village of Grand Pré in Nova Scotia, followed by Blomidon and Cape Split. The Split Rock, St. John, New Brunswick, and Partridge Island are also depicted, as well as Styx passing the Rips of D'Or and leaving Hands Port. George Henry Andrews, the special artist for the Illustrated London News, skillfully captured these scenes through his drawings, which were then engraved for the newspaper's publication. The intricate details of the ships, the cliffs, and the coastal geography are evident in the black and white image. The Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VII, can be seen aboard the naval ship as it sails through the Atlantic Ocean. The Royal Navy's Styx, armed with cannons, makes its way through the Minas Basin, leaving a trail of white wake in its wake. The Union Jack flies proudly from the mast, signifying the British presence in the region. This photograph print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on a significant royal event in the 19th century. The intricate details and stunning visuals make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical maritime art or royal memorabilia.
