EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures a significant moment in military history as HRH The Princess of Wales, later known as Queen Alexandra, presents new Colours to The Honourable Artillery Company in London during the Victorian era, around 1894. Dressed in an elegant gown and adorned with a grand headdress, the Princess stands proudly amongst a sea of soldiers, all clad in their ceremonial uniforms. The Honourable Artillery Company, one of the oldest surviving regiments in the British Army, is known for its rich history and tradition. The presentation of new Colours is an essential ceremony in the military, symbolizing the renewal of a regiment's commitment and loyalty to the monarch. The Colours, or flags, represent the regiment's lineage, battle honours, and connection to the Crown. In this photograph, the Princess holds the new Colours aloft, her regal presence adding to the grandeur of the occasion. The parade takes place in an open-air setting, with a backdrop of London's iconic architecture and a clear blue sky. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a vintage lantern slide projector, which would have been used to create enlarged images of this momentous event for public viewing. This photograph is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the British military during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich history that continues to shape our present.
