EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts a commemorative medal struck to mark the historic visit of the Prince of Wales, Albert Edward, to Canada in 1860. The future King Edward VII's journey to North America was a significant event, and the inauguration of the Victoria Bridge on the 25th of that year was a notable highlight. The Prince, who is shown in profile wearing an ostrich feather in his hat, is depicted against a backdrop of the bridge and the St. Lawrence River. The medal, engraved with intricate detail, bears the Prince's portrait and the inscription "HRH The Prince of Wales," along with the dates of his visit. This evocative memento of the royal visit was published in the esteemed "Illustrated London News" in 1860, providing a valuable record of this important moment in history. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, as well as the significance of royal visits and commemorative coinage.
