EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a poignant moment in history, depicting the crowd gathered outside the Mansion House in 1871. The people anxiously read bulletins about the illness of Prince Albert Edward, the future King Edward VII. Typhoid had struck him down, evoking memories of his father's tragic death from the same disease a decade earlier. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a city street filled with concerned faces and worried expressions. The atmosphere is thick with anxiety as news spreads through the crowd like wildfire. Each person absorbed in their own thoughts and feelings, engrossed in reading updates on the prince's health. This image encapsulates not only a specific event but also reflects broader themes of concern for loved ones' well-being during an era plagued by diseases such as typhoid. It offers us a glimpse into Victorian England's collective worry and highlights how news traveled through physical spaces before modern communication methods. The monochrome aesthetic adds to its historical charm, transporting us back to that nineteenth-century period when newspapers were eagerly awaited sources of information. Through this photograph, we can almost hear whispers of conversation among passersby discussing their hopes for Prince Albert Edward's recovery while grappling with their own fears. Ultimately, this image serves as a visual reminder of our shared humanity – our capacity to feel concern for others' suffering even across centuries – making it an invaluable piece within Robert Wilson's collection on Queen Victoria’s life and times.
