EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the visit of the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred to Messrs Day and Sons lithographic establishment. Taken by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving showcases the bustling interiors of this renowned printing house. Intriguingly, we see a group of distinguished men, presumably Messrs Day and his sons, engrossed in their work amidst stacks of lithographic prints. The scene is filled with an air of industry as these skilled printers meticulously craft their masterpieces. It is evident that lithography was not just a profession for them; it was their passion. The presence of royalty adds an extra layer of significance to this image. The young Princes' visit symbolizes recognition and appreciation for the artistry involved in lithographic printing. Their royal status is emphasized through their entourage accompanying them on this special occasion. As we delve deeper into this photo print, we cannot help but notice some children present within the establishment. Perhaps they are apprentices or simply captivated observers witnessing firsthand the magic behind creating beautiful prints. Overall, this photograph offers us a glimpse into both artistic craftsmanship and historical moments intertwined within one frame. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on preserving traditional techniques while also highlighting how even members of royalty were fascinated by such creative endeavors during that era.
