His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, 1858. Portrait of the future King Edward VII. 'The very natural desire to know something of the personal appearance of a Prince to whom such interest attaches has been gratified by the portrait which (by the permission of Mr. [John] Mitchell, the publisher) we have engraved. It is taken from a photograph from the life, by Mr. Lake Price last year, and lithographed by Mr. R. J. Lane, , and Mr. J. H. Lynch. There may be easily traced in the portrait a mixed likeness to his Royal parents; and the countenance, open but thoughtful - the figure, lithe

It is taken from a photograph from the life, by Mr. Lake Price last year, and lithographed by Mr. R. J. Lane, , and Mr. J. H. Lynch. There may be easily traced in the portrait a mixed likeness to his Royal parents; and the countenance, open but thoughtful - the figure, lithe and graceful - make up as well-looking a specimen of an English youth as can well be seen. The Highland costume is well known to be a favourite dress of the youthful part of the Royal family, and assorts well with the accessories of the picture. A little stiffness in the pose, and a gravity of expression not quite in keeping with the time of life of the original, but which are perhaps inseparable from photography, are the only drawbacks in a very admirable picture of a very interesting just been gazetted to a colonelcy in the army'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
