The Prince of Wales' Visit to Egypt: the Nile Boat - from a drawing by Frank Dillon, 1862. The future King Edward VII in Africa. 'The Prince of Wales, who has left Alexandria for Jaffa and the Holy Land, was, we are informed, highly delighted with his visit to Egypt and his Nile trip..." The party preceded up the Nile to the first cataract, the limit of their voyage, according to the usual plan of travellers, with as little delay as possible, though not without the incidents of sandbanks and rocks, which, at this late season, render the navigation of the rapidly-sinking river so difficult".' From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
