Colonies Dukes Oath Taking Three
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image depicts a significant moment in colonial history, as three royal dukes take their oath during the Tour of the Colonies. Circa 1900, this photograph is part of the extensive Boswell collection, offering a glimpse into the past. The Tour of the Colonies, also known as the Royal Tour of Canada and the United States, was a grand journey undertaken by King George V and Queen Mary in 1901 and 1902. The tour aimed to strengthen the connection between the monarchy and the people of the British colonies, following the end of the South African War. In this image, we see three unidentified royal dukes standing in a line, each holding a Bible and raising their right hand in a solemn pledge. The atmosphere is formal and regal, with the dukes dressed in their full regalia and the ornate surroundings adding to the sense of grandeur. The image is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy, as well as the strong ties that bound the colonies to the mother country. It offers a fascinating insight into the past, providing a visual connection to a time when the world was more interconnected than ever before. The intricately detailed photograph, with its crisp lines and vibrant colors, is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records for future generations. This image is not only a valuable addition to any historical collection but also a beautiful work of art that can be enjoyed for its aesthetic qualities.
