EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from the front cover of The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper, on June 12th, 1886, presents a fascinating glimpse into the past. The photograph, titled "Visit of Colonial Guests to the P&O Company's Fleet, Albert Docks," showcases a vibrant scene at the Albert Docks in London, England. The Victorian era is in full swing, and the industrial landscape is bustling with activity. In the foreground, we see a group of colonial visitors, dressed in exotic attire, gathered around the railing of a ship, admiring the P&O Company's impressive fleet. The ships, with their sails billowing in the wind, are docked at the wharf, and the hustle and bustle of the dockworkers can be seen in the background. But the main event of the day is taking place at Orleans House in Twickenham, Richmond upon Thames. An angling tournament is underway, and the professionals are showcasing their impressive double-handed fly-casting skills. The river Thames provides the perfect backdrop for this sporting event, with its calm waters reflecting the sun's rays and the lush greenery of the riverbank adding to the picturesque scene. The image is an engraving, adding to its historical charm, and the detail is remarkable, from the intricate designs on the colonial guests' clothing to the individual expressions on the faces of the anglers. This print provides a unique insight into the past, showcasing the intersection of industry, culture, and sport in Victorian Britain.
