EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Royal Visit to the Royal Regatta, Henley-on-Thames, 1912 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in the history of the Royal Regatta at Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, as the Royal Family makes a regal procession along the River Thames during the prestigious rowing event in 1912. The image, taken from the banks of the river, shows a large crowd of onlookers gathered to witness the spectacle, with their eyes fixed on the approaching flotilla of boats carrying the members of the British monarchy. 3. Scene: The Royal Regatta, held annually since 1839, is a quintessentially British event that celebrates the rich tradition of rowing and the social season. In this photograph, the excitement is palpable as the royal party, dressed in their finest attire, make their way along the river in an elegant display of pomp and pageantry. The boats, adorned with the Union Jack and other regal insignia, glide effortlessly through the water, leaving a gentle wake behind them. 4. Composition: The photograph is expertly composed, with the Royal Family's procession forming the focal point of the image. The crowd, a sea of hats and umbrellas, provides a sense of scale and context, while the boats in the foreground and background add depth and visual interest. The muted colours and soft lighting create a nostalgic and timeless feel, transporting the viewer back to a bygone era. 5. Historical Significance: The Royal Regatta at Henley-on-Thames is a cherished tradition that has attracted the attention of the British monarchy for over a century. This photograph, taken in 1912, offers a glimpse into the social and historical significance of the event, as well as the elegance and grandeur of the Royal Family during this period. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of the regatta and the allure of the River Thames.
