EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in time, showcasing the four capitals of colonies represented by their premiers at the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection. The image transports us back to June 12,1897, when the Illustrated London News published this illustration. It depicts the diverse topography and cultures of these colonial capitals: Victoria in Australia, Cape Town in South Africa, Wellington in New Zealand, and Brisbane in Queensland. Each premier stands proudly next to a flag representing their respective colony. The premiers' presence at this grand celebration symbolizes unity and loyalty to the British Empire during Queen Victoria's sixty-year reign. The composition highlights both architectural landmarks and natural beauty. Table Mountain serves as a majestic backdrop for Cape Town's premier while Melbourne's premier poses against its bustling cityscape. This photograph not only documents political representation but also showcases each capital's unique character. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured through early photography techniques, we are reminded of how far we have come since those times. It serves as a testament to our shared history and reminds us of the importance of celebrating milestones together as one global community.
