EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of Melbourne, Australia, as the Tour of the Colonies brings the British monarchy to the opening of the Parliament of Victoria in 1900. The image showcases a grand carriage procession making its way towards Parliament House, located at the edge of the Melbourne city centre on Spring Street in East Melbourne. The imposing building, which has served as the seat of the Victorian Parliament since 1855 (with the exception of the years 1901 to 1927 when it housed the Federal Parliament of Australia), stands proudly in the background. The Tour of the Colonies, an extensive journey across Australia and New Zealand by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, aimed to strengthen the ties between the British monarchy and its colonies. This photograph offers a glimpse into the grandeur and pomp of the colonial era, with the carriage adorned with ornate decorations and the crowds lining the streets to catch a glimpse of the royal procession.
