EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1856, immersing us in the bustling atmosphere of Day & Sons lithography workshop. The image captures a momentous occasion - the visit of Prince Alfred and his brother, the Prince of Wales (later known as King Edward VII), to this renowned British establishment. The workshop is a hive of activity, with men and boys diligently working amidst stacks of newspapers and printing presses. Dressed in their aprons and hats, they skillfully operate the intricate machinery that brings illustrations to life on paper. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when lithography was at its peak, serving as a vital medium for disseminating news and art. The presence of royalty adds an air of grandeur to this scene. Prince Alfred stands tall among the workers, dressed impeccably in his royal attire. His older brother, the future king himself, observes with interest nearby. Their visit signifies not only appreciation for craftsmanship but also highlights the importance placed on supporting local industries during Victorian times. As we admire this historic engraving from The Illustrated London News, we are transported back to an age where manual labor merged seamlessly with artistic expression. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and dedication towards creating beautiful prints that would captivate audiences across Britain.
