THE ISLE OF MUSSOWAH, IN THE RED SEA, THE HEAD-QUARTERS OF THE ABYSSINIAN RELIEF MISSION, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Isle of Mussowah, in the Red Sea, the head-quarters of the Abyssinian Relief Mission, 1865. Engraving from a sketch by Lieutenant S. S. Jacob, of the Bombay Staff Corps, Assistant Engineer at Aden, of '...the head-quarters, at present, of the Special Mission sent to effect the release of the Abyssinian captives and the place where Consul Cameron used to reside...Mussowah,...belonging now to the dominions of the Pacha of Egypt, is an island, about half a mile long and a quarter of a mile broad, only a few hundred yards from the African coast. Like many other islands in the Red Sea, it is of coral formation, and elevated from 12 to 20 ft. above the level of the sea. There is not a spring of water to be found in the island; not a tree or blade of grass for the eye to rest on. Half the island is used as a Mussulman burying-ground, near which is the Roman Catholic chapel, shown to the left (the east). Christians are not allowed to bury on the island, but find a resting-place for their dead in another island (Tawil Oude) shown at the extreme right...The other half of Mussowah is inhabited, but the few miserable houses and mat huts comprise the whole town...Turkish steamers run from Suez to Jeddah, whence native boats come across to Mussowah'.

THE BRITISH CHANNEL SQUADRON ENTERING CHERBOURG HARBOUR, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The British Channel Squadron entering Cherbourg Harbour, [northern France], 1865. View '...from a sketch by our special artist...The first to round the point was the Royal yacht Osborne, while, at the same moment, a salute was fired by the guns of the fort. Immediately afterwards followed the Admiralty yacht Enchantress, and then, slowly wheeling round, came the Edgar, with her lofty masts, her sides and poop towering far out of the water, and the two broad white stripes which mark her tiers of guns broken at intervals by the portholes through which peeped the cannon, ready to return the compliment she was about to receive. As she passed the end of the breakwater the Magenta fired a salute of eleven guns, which was immediately returned by the English Admiral's ship with one of nineteen guns...The low, broad, ungainly vessel with the circular turrets on her deck, which comes behind the flagship, is the Royal Sovereign...The other ironclads, following each other at quarter-mile distance, are shown to the left hand. The Enchantress is near the right-hand corner, with a French Government steamer beyond. At the extreme left corner, in the fore part of the view, is a steamer with a party of excursionists, her rigging gaily decked with many flags'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.

THE KING OF DENMARK VISITING THE NORTH-SEA SQUADRON ON ITS RETURN TO COPENHAGEN, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The King of Denmark visiting the North-Sea Squadron on its return to Copenhagen, 1864. Engraving from a sketch 'by Mr. Simonsen, our Danish Artist. All classes of people in Denmark were naturally eager to show their appreciation of the services of the navy, which had held the sea during the whole winter, assisting the army, chasing and blockading the enemy, and concluding with a spirited naval combat - thus upholding the honour of Denmark, and her old historical renown for maritime prowess...the inhabitants of Copenhagen...mustered by thousands upon the ramparts of the citadel...The frigate Sjaeilland...and other ships of war, were seen at anchor; and shortly before noon the frigates Niels Juel; the Jylland, and the corvette Heimdal, steamed in a line past the Three-Crown Battery, and came to anchor, amidst enthusiastic cheers from the crews of the other ships and the crowds of spectators on shore. Almost immediately afterwards a royal salute was fired from the Sixtus Battery; the ships in the docks manned yards, and the royal barge was seen approaching from the Inner Port, rowing towards the fleet. It bore his Majesty the King, in Admiral's uniform, with a numerous suite. The fleet immediately manned yards and commenced firing royal salutes'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES TO SWEDEN: EMBARKATION IN THE ROYAL YACHT OSBORNE…, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden: embarkation in the royal yacht Osborne at Gottenborg - from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. The future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in Scandinavia. '...the landing-place in front of the yacht Osborne was kept by a detachment of Swedish artillery...The local authorities also erected stands with braziers in them, to show light to the procession, while the carriages of the Royal party moved from the railway station to the wharf. The Royal yacht contributed to this animated night-scene the fire of blue lights, which made it as bright as day, and threw over the upturned faces on the quay, and on the masts and rigging of the ships a glare, from which the scarlet uniforms of the narrow line of marines on the poop-deck shone out more brightly by contrast; and when, by-and-by, the band advanced to play on board during dinnertime, the glitter of the helmets and swords, added to the cocked hats and uniforms already upon deck, made up a very pretty piece of ship effect. The Royal party dined and slept on board the Osborne, which, early next morning, made a smooth passage across the Sound and entered the port of Elsinore'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES EMBARKING AT DUNDEE FOR DENMARK ON SATURDAY LAST, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Prince and Princess of Wales embarking at Dundee for Denmark on Saturday last, 1864. '...the Prince and Princess of Wales, with their infant son, Prince Albert Victor, embarked at the Queen's Quay, in the harbour of Dundee, on their voyage to Copenhagen. The scene presented by the streets, which were densely thronged by the workpeople just released from the spinning-mills, manufactories, and dockyards for their Saturday half-holiday, was of the most animated description...the Royal carriage passed under the triumphal arch...commemorative of the Royal visit of 1844...the volunteers were ranged as a guard of honour, and at the jetty the band was stationed and received the Royal pair with the notes of the National Anthem...At length, plying its ten oars vigorously and displaying the Royal standard, the barge [of the Osborne] came alongside...(Our Special Artist made his sketch at the moment when the Prince and Princess stepped into the barge.) As the barge moved away a cordial cheer was once more raised, uttered, no doubt, with best wishes for a safe and speedy return. About half an hour afterwards another barge came alongside for the baby Prince, who, in charge of his nurse, had been driven quietly and unobservedly from the station'.
