'...the mortal remains of the Duke of Malakoff (Marshal Pelissier), the late Governor of that province, were embarked on board a ship of war to be transported to France...the arms of the deceased, and the four words, "Spain, Greece, Africa, Crimea," denoting the countries where he passed the chief part of his military career, were inscribed [on the altar]...across the whole width of the principal square of the city, was stretched a curtain of black cloth...officers of the army, civil government officials, magistrates, foreign consuls, members of the municipality, professors of the schools, and various ministers of religion, were assembled near the altar...the central space [was] marked by four censers of burning incense...On the top [of the coffin] were laid the sword...and the insignia of Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour...His war-horse, fully caparisoned, was led behind. This procession [was] headed by Bishop Pavy...and [after the service] the coffin was then removed on board the ship. A multitude of spectators, both of the French and the Arab population, thronged the spacious ground'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

JERUSALEM FROM THE MOUNT OF OLIVES - FROM A PHOTOGRAPH BY MR. F. BEDFORD..., 1862. CREATOR: MASON JACKSON.
Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives - from a photograph by Mr. F. Bedford, who accompanied the Prince of Wales in his tour in the east, 1862. 'Mr. Bedford was selected as in every way fitted for the post of Royal photographer...The morning which [he] had selected for his view of the city from that commanding position turned out very hazy - a gleaming, shimmering light playing in the air, and especially over the city, which he thought would be fatal to photographic operations; but he was agreeably surprised to find that, even in the first negative taken, the actual character of soft, Oriental haze was reproduced in the photograph in a most accurate manner, and yet the outline of every edifice in the city was as distinctly defined as if traced out with a sharp knife...It is the naked, unadorned reality that we seek in a representation of a site made for ever sacred as the centre around which all the events in the life of the Saviour were enacted. Photography alone would give us that absolute reflex of the scene in which nothing is added and nothing taken away; and this aspect of truthfulness, which we feel confident must of necessity exist in the photograph, has, we believe, been most conscientiously preserved by our engraver'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives - from a photograph by Mr. F. Bedford..., 1862. Creator: Mason Jackson. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

THE PRINCE OF WALES' VISIT TO EGYPT: ALEXANDRIA - FROM A DRAWING BY FRANK DILLON, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Prince of Wales' Visit to Egypt: Alexandria - from a drawing by Frank Dillon, 1862. The future King Edward VII in Africa. 'This city (so called from its founder, Alexander the Great) is a celebrated seaport near the westernmost branch of the Nile, on the Mediterranean, 112 miles north-west of Cairo, with which it communicates by railway, canal, and the River Nile. Its population is about 60,000, including 8000 troops and the employees in the arsenal. The modern city is built on a peninsula (anciently the island of Pharos), and on the Isthmus connecting it with the continent; the ancient city was on the mainland, where its ruins cover a vast extent of surface. Alexandria has a palace of the Pacha, a naval arsenal, and military hospitals, a customs-house, tribunal of commerce, primary school of instruction, medical, naval, and other schools...There are two ports, in the west and best of which ships anchor in from 22 to 40ft. water. A castle called Farillon, and serving as a landmark to sailors, replaces the famous Pharos of Egypt. Alexandria is the great emporium of Egypt. Alexandria is an important station in the overland route to India, and is connected by railway with Suez. Consuls of the chief European countries reside here'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.

The "Doseh", an annual religious ceremony at Cairo, 1861. Creator: Unknown. The "Doseh", an annual religious ceremony at Cairo, 1861. 'This most remarkable of the many peculiar ceremonies in connection with the Moslem religion takes place on the last day of the Festival of the Birthday of the Prophet. The fete is held in...the gardens of the Esbekieh...the Sheik [arrives]...on horseback, escorted by...grenadiers from the Viceregal Guard and a crowd of officious ecclesiastics...the devotees...apparently lost to everything but paradise and eternity...urged by the dervishes, throw themselves flat upon the ground and are then carefully arranged...(care being taken to have the heads all one way), and continue their cry of "Allah!" which is taken up by the spectators, who become very much excited. The Sheik's horse is...highly trained, and unshod, but always hesitates to place its foot on the first body...each man is trodden upon twice. It is rarely, if ever, that the horse misses his footing - placing one foot on the shoulder of one man and one hind foot upon the hip of another. Immediately the Sheik has passed over, the men leap up, shouting the usual "Allahhu!" The excitement at this particular moment is intense, and the cawasses (police) are extremely lively and energetic in keeping the mob back'. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
