Illumination of Gibraltar in honour of the Prince of Wales, from a sketch by our special artist, 1876. 'The illuminations of the town, the fortified Rock, the harbour and shipping, displayed on the Saturday night in festive celebration of his visit, were a grand sight to be viewed from on board the [HMS] Serapis, or any other vessel or boat, a few hundred yards off the shore'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
