EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Prince Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales, is seen embarking on an expedition in the breathtaking Hardangerfjord, Norway, in 1885. The Prince, who would later become King Edward VII, is shown in the foreground, dressed in a heavy coat and wearing a fur hat, as he observes the local sailors at work. The sailors are seen hauling in the ropes of the ship "Seine," a traditional Norwegian fishing vessel, with determination and focus. The Hardangerfjord, the setting of this scene, is the fourth longest fjord in the world and is renowned for its stunning beauty. The steep cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and serene waters create a breathtaking backdrop to this moment in history. The Prince's visit to Norway was a significant event, as it marked the strengthening of diplomatic relations between the two countries. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the connection between the Prince and the Norwegian people.
