The King's Dinner, the Fijian Troops on Guard at Holloway
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph captures a significant moment in history as it depicts the ceremonial guard of Fijian troops during a visit to Holloway, London. The artwork, created by Allan Stewart in 1902 for The Illustrated London News, showcases the grandeur and cultural diversity of the British Empire. In this scene, we witness the arrival of the Fijian contingent at Holloway Station. Lined up with military precision are sergeants major and privates dressed in their traditional attire alongside Indian troops. Their presence symbolizes not only their loyalty to Britain but also highlights the colonial influence that shaped nations across the globe. The occasion being celebrated is none other than "The King's Dinner" an event attended by Princess Christian herself. As she leaves her carriage accompanied by an entourage, one can sense both excitement and pride among those present. Every detail has been meticulously captured in this engraving - from the elaborate uniforms worn by these brave soldiers to their stoic expressions as they stand guard along the route. It serves as a testament to their dedication and commitment towards serving under British rule. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into history; it reminds us of our shared past and celebrates multiculturalism within society. It stands as a tribute to all those who have contributed to shaping our world today through unity and cooperation across borders.
