EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history during the Tour of the Colonies exhibition in the late 19th century. The image depicts their majesties, the King and Queen, making their regal procession through a grand gallery, surrounded by an entourage of dignitaries and high-ranking officials. The King, dressed in full regalia, holds a scepter in his right hand, while the Queen, elegantly attired, carries a fan. The gallery, adorned with intricate architectural details and ornate decorations, sets the perfect backdrop for this grand occasion. The Tour of the Colonies was an exhibition held in London between 1885 and 1886, showcasing the art, culture, and resources of the British colonies. The event aimed to promote imperial unity and strengthen the connection between the mother country and its territories. The procession of the monarchs was a highlight of the exhibition, symbolizing the power and prestige of the British Empire. This photograph, part of the Boswell collection, is estimated to date from around 1900. The image, though faded slightly with time, retains its original charm and historical significance. The lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting images during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, would have allowed audiences to experience the grandeur of the Tour of the Colonies from the comfort of their own homes. This photograph is a testament to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history of the British Empire and its colonial connections.
