EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a historic moment in the 19th century as HRH Prince Albert Edward, later known as King Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland, embarks on an expedition to Egypt. The scene, titled "The Prince of Wales' Visit to Egypt: Djizeh - from a drawing by Frank Dillon, 1862," showcases the future monarch in the midst of the African desert, surrounded by the unique geography of the region. The Prince, dressed in hunting attire, is depicted seated on the banks of a river, taking in the breathtaking view of the Pyramids of Giza in the distance. The enchanting landscape is further adorned with palm trees, providing a stark contrast to the barren desert terrain. The tranquil water reflects the majestic pyramids, creating a mesmerizing reflection. The print, published in the Illustrated London News, was created by the skilled hand of Frank Dillon. The meticulous detail in the drawing highlights the Prince's fascination with the exotic wonders of Egypt and the intrigue of the African continent. The Prince's visit to Egypt, which took place in 1862, marked a significant moment in British history, as it was the first time a British monarch had visited the country. This print not only serves as a testament to the rich history of Egypt but also to the adventurous spirit of the Prince, who would later rule as a beloved and influential monarch. The print, with its intriguing composition and exquisite detail, continues to captivate viewers and transport them to a bygone era.
