EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Royal Visit to Gibraltar" takes us back in time to the 19th century. The image showcases a momentous occasion when the Prince of Wales graced the shores of Gibraltar with his presence. The scene is filled with excitement and grandeur as ships line the harbor, paying homage to this royal visit. The maritime atmosphere adds a touch of elegance and emphasizes the significance of this event. Illumination lights up the night sky, creating a magical ambiance that reflects the honor bestowed upon Gibraltar. Intriguingly, amidst all this regal splendor, we catch a glimpse of an unexpected sight - donkeys! These humble creatures are seen participating in a lively donkey race, adding an element of charm and local flavor to this historic occasion. The print captures not only the pomp and circumstance surrounding royal visits but also highlights one aspect that makes Gibraltar unique – its vibrant athletic sports culture. This engraving serves as a testament to how even during such formal events, there is room for joyous celebration and sporting competitions. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving from The Illustrated London News allows us to relive moments from history that shaped both Gibraltar's identity and its connection with British royalty. It reminds us that even centuries later, these images continue to captivate our imagination by offering glimpses into days gone by.
