EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1927, capturing a significant moment in history. On board the majestic HMS Renown, we witness the Duke and Duchess of York en route to Australia and New Zealand. This voyage marked an important milestone as it was during this trip that the Duke opened the first parliament in Canberra on May 9th. The image showcases a distinguished couple standing side by side, exuding elegance and grace. The Duke is dressed impeccably in his military uniform, while the Duchess radiates beauty in her fashionable attire. Their smiles reflect their happiness and excitement for this grand adventure. As they sail through vast waters towards distant lands, one can only imagine the anticipation felt by both royals and citizens alike. This journey symbolizes not only a physical voyage but also represents unity between nations as well as cultural exchange. The historical context adds depth to this photograph, reminding us of Britain's colonial ties with Australia and New Zealand during that era. It serves as a testament to the enduring strength of monarchy throughout time. Preserved on card number 22 out of 50 from Our King And Queen cigarette cards produced for W. D. & H. O. Wills, The Imperial Tobacco Company in London (1937), this print captures a moment frozen in time - an emblematic representation of travel, transport, royalty, fashion, love, and exploration all intertwined into one remarkable image.
