A collection of photographs taken during a visit by the Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VII) to the United States in 1860. Surviving photographs only seem to exist from his stops in New York City, Boston, Portland, and Niagara Falls, although he did visit many other American cities as well as Canada. The trip marked the first time a heir to the British throne step foot in North America. Original captions in quotations precede most of the images. The photographs were taken by George Stacy, Deloss Barnum, Mathew Brady, and other unidentified photographers working for publishers D. Appleton & Company, E. & H. T. Anthony & Company, and possibly Levey Brothers.
