Melton Prior (12 September 1845 – 2 November 1910), was an English artist and war correspondent for ''The Illustrated London News'' from the early 1870s until 1904. Prior was one of the leading illustrators of late Victorian Britain, noted for his ability to quickly sketch scenes. His pencil sketches were sent back to London where they were re-drawn by studio artists and engraved on wood-blocks for printing in the Saturday issues of the ''Illustrated London News''. In addition to covering conflicts around the world, he also traveled on a number of Royal tours including accompanying the Prince of Wales〔Technically speaking, Prior accompanied the Duke of Cornwall, who was created Prince of Wales on 9 November 1901; the trip to Canada began in Quebec on 16 September with departure from St. John's, Newfoundland, anchor in Solent on 31 October and return to London on 2 November.
