The Prince of Wales' Visit to Egypt: His Royal Highness examining the negatives taken by Mr. Bedford, photographist, at Philae, 1862. The future King Edward VII visits an archaeological site in Africa. 'We arrived at Assuan on the 12th of March, where we found everything in readiness, such as guides, horses, and donkeys, to take us to Philae. The Royal party crossed over to the island in boats, some distance above the cataract. We returned the same day to Assuan, and thence back to Edfou, where we remained one day inspecting its magnificent temples. Several fine views were taken by Mr. Bedford, photographer to tbe Prince. The following day Esneh was reached and its temple visited; and on Saturday, the 14th, at midnight, we took up our quarters at Luxor'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
