The Embarkation of the Prince of Wales at the Queen's Wharf, St. John's, Newfoundland, 1860. The future King Edward VII visits North America. Engraving from a sketch by Mr. Delaney. 'When the Prince, with the Earl of St. Germans and his Excellency and Lady Bannerman, entered the carriage at Government House there was a spontaneous and eloquent expression of the popular feeling for the Heir to the Throne. The horses were no sooner harnessed than a number of fine stalwart fellows came forward from amongst the crowd and insisted on taking the place of the horses and drawing the carriages themselves. His Royal Highness having graciously acceded, the horses were replaced by as many men as could possibly hook on, after a smart scramble for the honour of places, and were drawn slowly past the Commissariat, by the military road down Cochrane-street in the line formed by the multitude, amid thunders of huzzas. It was a felicitous and demonstrative exhibition - that movement on the part of the people, and the sight it presented was full of beauty and significance. It spoke of loyalty the most devoted - but it told, too, of that deep personal regard which his Royal Highness had won from strangers by the attraction of his amiable manners and bearing'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
