EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1875, capturing a significant moment in history. The Suez Canal, a marvel of engineering connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, is showcased in all its grandeur. In this particular scene, we witness the Royal Yacht Osborne gracefully sailing through these waters with none other than the Prince of Wales himself on board. Little did anyone know at that time that this young prince would later ascend to become King Edward VII. As he stands proudly on deck, one can only imagine his thoughts and emotions as he witnesses this revolutionary feat of human ingenuity. In close proximity to the yacht lies another vessel - the peninsular and oriental steamer Pekin. This juxtaposition highlights not only different modes of transportation but also signifies an era where maritime travel played a vital role in global connectivity. The wood engraving technique used for this print adds depth and texture to every detail captured by Granger's skilled hand. It transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic craftsmanship and historical significance behind this image. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded of how far humanity has come in terms of transportation and communication networks. It serves as a testament to our ability to overcome geographical barriers while showcasing royalty amidst an ever-changing world.
