The Duke of Cornwall and York's Arrival at Colombo, 12 April
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that captures a significant moment in history. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases the grandeur and ceremonial nature of royal visits. The image portrays a panoramic view of Colombo Harbour, where several majestic ships are passing through. On the bustling streets below, men of war can be seen escorting the Duke of Cornwall and York during his arrival on April 12th. The entire scene exudes a sense of maritime splendor as the Royal Navy takes center stage. As part of his visit to Sri Lanka (then known as Ceylon), the Duke embarked on various activities including exploring Kandy, visiting HMS Pomone, and attending ceremonies at Queen's House. This photograph beautifully encapsulates one such ceremony with its regal procession through Chatham Street. The significance of this event is further emphasized by its publication in The Illustrated London News on May 11th, 1901. It serves as a visual testament to not only the importance placed upon royal visits but also highlights Britain's presence in Asia during that era. This stunning print from Bridgeman Images allows us to step back in time and witness a momentous occasion filled with pomp, pageantry, and historical significance.
