EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a momentous event in Canadian history - The Royal Colonial Tour of 1901. In this print, we see the Duke of Cornwall, accompanied by his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, riding on the Cow-Catcher of the Engine between Yale and North Bend on the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Duke and Duchess appear regal as they take part in this grand tour across Canada's vast landscapes. The engine roars beneath them as they traverse through picturesque scenery, symbolizing their connection with both nature and progress. This illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on October 26th, 1901. It showcases Melton Prior's artistic talent in capturing not only the physical likeness of royalty but also their sense of adventure and exploration. As members of British royalty visit Canada during this colonial era, it signifies an important relationship between two nations. This image represents a time when Canada was still developing its identity within the British Empire while embracing its own unique culture. The presence of railways further emphasizes how transportation played a crucial role in connecting different regions within Canada. It highlights the significance that railroads held for both economic development and royal visits during this period. Overall, this lithograph provides us with a glimpse into an extraordinary moment where tradition meets modernity amidst breathtaking Canadian landscapes.
