Prince Albert Victor and Prince George during the voyage of the Bacchante, 1881 (1964)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in British history. The image showcases two young boys, Prince Albert Victor and Prince George, dressed in naval uniforms aboard HMS Bacchante during their service as midshipmen from 1879 to 1882. These two sons of the future King Edward VII embarked on this voyage together, forging a bond that would shape their lives. Tragically, Albert succumbed to influenza in 1892, leaving behind an indelible mark on his family's legacy. In contrast, George went on to become King George V after succeeding his father in 1910. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their shared journey and the immense responsibilities they would bear. The portrait exudes Victorian elegance and royal stature as these young princes stand tall with unwavering determination. Their presence symbolizes not only their noble lineage but also hints at the weight of duty that lies ahead for them both. Herbert Numan's artistic rendition beautifully captures this historical moment while Philip Magnus' book "King Edward the Seventh" provides further context surrounding this remarkable period in British monarchy. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece today, we are transported back to a time when these young boys were poised to become key figures within Britain's naval warfare and ultimately ascend to positions of power within the kingdom. This print is a testament to heritage and reminds us of the enduring impact that these individuals had on shaping Great Britain's history.
