A Meeting of the Colonial Conference, London, 1887
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a significant moment in history when representatives from various colonies gathered to discuss matters of colonialism and governance. This engraving by the English School in the 19th century provides a glimpse into this pivotal event. The image showcases prominent politicians and statesmen such as Lord Kimberley, Sir H Holland, Lord Cross, Mr Childers, Lord Salisbury, Sir A Campbell, Honorable E Stanhope, Lord Granville, Sir A Shea, Sir T Upington, Sir C Mills and many others. These individuals came together to address issues concerning South Australia, Cape Colony (now known as South Africa), New Zealand, Tasmania, Victoria, Australia's Western Hemisphere territories including Queensland and New South Wales, North America's Newfoundland, and Canada. This gathering was an opportunity for these influential figures to exchange ideas on matters that would shape their respective regions' future. The conference also aimed at strengthening ties between different colonies under British rule while addressing concerns specific to each region. The illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on June 11th of that year. It offers us a window into the past - a visual representation of political discourse during an era marked by colonial expansion and global influence. As we observe this historic print today through Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder platform , it serves as a reminder of how nations once navigated complex relationships within the framework of colonialism and sheds light on the challenges faced by those who sought to govern vast territories across Oceania and North America.
