EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Shooting Prairie Hens, the Prince of Wales in the Far West" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, this print captures a scene that appeared in The Illustrated News of the World on November 3,1860. In this image, we witness an extraordinary event as the future King Edward VII, then known as the Prince of Wales, embarks on a hunting expedition in America's untamed western frontier. With his rifle held firmly and determination etched across his face, he aims at prairie hens soaring through vast open plains. The composition exudes both adventure and historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into the life of royalty venturing far from their familiar surroundings to explore new territories. This depiction not only showcases the prince's passion for hunting but also sheds light on Western expansion during that era. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us to different times and places. Through its intricate details and masterful execution, this engraving immortalizes an important chapter in our shared past – one where tradition meets exploration amidst breathtaking landscapes.
