Légende

Arrival of the Prince of Wales to lay the foundation-stone of a new pier at Cannes, 1898. The Prince of Wales [future King Edward VII], who has managed, as usual, to combine a certain amount of business with his holiday, laid at Cannes, just before the Queen's arrival [ie his mother, Victoria], the first stone of a new jetty to be called by his name: an addition to the port which yachtsmen especially are likely to appreciate. Replying to speeches in his honour by the Mayor and by the Prefect, his Royal Highness expressed his hope that France may long enjoy the benefits of the government of the Republic, and that the cordial relations between France and Great Britain "may long continue for the good of humanity".' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
