* Prior was a prolific artist and War Correspondent, working for the Illustrated London News for over thirty years until his retirement in 1905. Alongside his colleague William Simpson (whose drawings from the Crimea War were used extensively in the Illustrated London News), Prior worked in Africa during the Zulu Wars, the Boer War and throughout campaigns in the Sudan and Somaliland. He travelled on Royal tours to Athens and Canada in 1875 and 1901 and visited Iceland in the entourage of the King of Denmark. Prior was admired by his editors for his swiftness and ability to capture a scene with accuracy and human interest. The clarity and neatness of his draughtsmanship allowed his despatched artwork to be readily understood, re-drawn and quickly engraved on woodblocks for printing in London. As these drawings show, he observed domestic and civilian life with just as keen an eye and the scope of his travels - all five principal continents are represented here - was remarkable. ++ Laid onto card, some discoloured and/or time stained £5000-7000
