The Prince of Wales at Montreal - Pavilion on the Quay - the Prince landing, 1860. Creator: Unknown
The Prince of Wales at Montreal - Pavilion on the Quay - the Prince landing, 1860. The future King Edward VII visits North America. The Prince of Wales landed at Montreal on Saturday morning, the 25th August, and was received with the most enthusiastic demonstrations of welcome by about 60, 000 people. The occasion was probably the most striking ever witnessed in Canada. The streets were beautifully decorated - there being some tastefully-constructed arches; and the procession which accompanied his Royal Highness from the wharf after the presentation of an address from the Mayor embodied all the civic societies, the clergy, the fire brigade, the regular military, and the volunteers, not only of the city, but of distant places'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in Canadian history: the arrival of The Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VII, at the Pavilion on the Quay in Montreal, Canada, on August 25, 1860. The future monarch's visit to North America was an extraordinary event, attracting an estimated 60,000 people to witness his arrival. The streets of Montreal were adorned with tastefully-constructed arches and decorations, creating a grandiose welcome for the Prince. Upon disembarking from the paddle steamer, The Prince of Wales was greeted with enthusiastic demonstrations of patriotism and welcome. The scene is a testament to the strong connection between Britain and Canada during the 19th century. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, showcases the Prince's arrival at the quay, surrounded by a large crowd, including civic societies, clergy, military, and volunteers. The architectural feature of the archway in the background adds an elegant metaphor to the image, symbolizing the gateway to a new era of Anglo-Canadian relations. This engraving, created by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and excitement of the royal visit, which remains an important chapter in the history of both Britain and Canada.
