The Return of Lord Roberts - A Historic Homecoming
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the momentous return of Lord Roberts, a revered military figure, to his homeland. The lithograph, created by Melton Prior in 1901 and now part of a private collection, showcases the grandeur and significance of this event. The image depicts Governor Sir George White leading the procession as it winds its way through bustling streets. Pulled by sturdy bullock carts adorned with vibrant decorations, Lord Roberts is seen at the center, surrounded by his loyal entourage on horseback. The rocky landscape serves as a backdrop to this triumphant scene. Lord Roberts had just completed an extensive tour that took him from Funchal to Gibraltar via Madeira. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 12th, 1901. It offers viewers a glimpse into the inspection of houses and military units during his return journey. The attention to detail in Prior's work brings out every nuance of this historic occasion - from the expressions on people's faces to the meticulous rendering of horses and bullock carts. This print not only commemorates Lord Robert's homecoming but also serves as a testament to Prior's talent for capturing significant moments in history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Britain's most celebrated military leaders returning triumphantly after completing an important mission abroad.
