EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous event in history - "The Duke of Cornwall and York's Colonial Tour, the Royal Party, with His Excellency the Governor, starting from Colombo for Queens House". Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases a ceremonial gathering as part of a royal visit to Sri Lanka. Intriguingly framed against the backdrop of Colombo, we see members of the royal party accompanied by His Excellency the Governor. The Duke of Cornwall and York himself stands tall at the center, exuding regal elegance. Dressed impeccably in formal attire, they are ready to embark on their journey towards Queens House. This photograph not only captures a significant moment but also serves as an illustration for The Illustrated London News published on May 11th, 1901. It offers us a glimpse into colonial times when such visits were highly anticipated events that brought together dignitaries from both local and foreign realms. The composition is strikingly captured with attention to detail, showcasing Asia's rich cultural heritage through its architecture and traditional clothing worn by some attendees. This visual documentation allows us to appreciate historical connections between nations while highlighting moments that shaped our shared past. Preserved within a private collection until now, this print invites us to reflect upon an era long gone yet still resonating with grandeur and significance.
