In this print titled "The Prince of Wales leaves for Australia" we are transported back to the golden age of train travel in the 20th century. The image captures a moment filled with excitement and anticipation as the Prince of Wales embarks on his journey to Australia. Standing at Horsham station, a group of Bluecoat boys from Christs Hospital School wave their Union Jack flags vigorously, bidding farewell to the royal figure. The scene is beautifully captured by Alfieri, who skillfully utilizes monochrome tones to create a timeless aesthetic. The steam emanating from the majestic locomotive adds an element of nostalgia, reminding us of an era when rail travel was considered luxurious and glamorous. This vintage photograph evokes a sense of pride and patriotism as it showcases both British royalty and schoolboys united in their support for their country's representative. It serves as a testament to the enduring tradition of respect towards monarchy that has been deeply ingrained within British society. Alfieri's work not only provides us with an insight into historical events but also transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand moments that shaped our past. This remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon how transportation has evolved over time while celebrating the rich heritage associated with train travel during its heyday.
