EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Return of the Prince of Wales from India: life on board the Serapis: Pony and Thibet Dog,' is an engraving from a sketch by an officer of the HMS Serapis, published in the Illustrated London News in 1876. The photograph depicts a scene on deck of the Serapis, a British naval vessel, as it returns from India with His Royal Highness Prince Albert Edward, later King Edward VII, aboard. The future monarch of Great Britain and Ireland is shown interacting with two exotic animals, a small pony and a Thibet dog. The pony, standing at eight hands three inches in height, is of a chestnut color and appears to be quite feisty. The Thibet dog, one of several specimens on board, adds to the vibrant and diverse atmosphere of the scene. Prince Louis Alexander Mountbatten, later the 1st Marquess of Milford Haven, is also present in the image, dressed in naval attire and observing the interaction between the prince and the animals. This enchanting snapshot provides a glimpse into the life of a 19th-century royal voyage and the exotic creatures that accompanied the Prince of Wales on his journey home from India.
