EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a historic moment during "The Royal Colonial Tour" of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall in Canada. The image showcases the grandeur and ceremonial nature of this royal visit, as Indian Chiefs warmly welcome the distinguished couple at the Pow-Wow in Shaganappie, Calgary. The Duke and Duchess stand tall amidst a vibrant gathering, surrounded by native Americans adorned in traditional attire. This enchanting scene highlights the cultural exchange between British royalty and indigenous peoples, symbolizing unity and respect. Melton Prior's meticulous engraving skillfully brings to life this significant event that took place on October 19th, 1901. Published in The Illustrated London News, it offers a glimpse into an era when royal visits held immense importance for both colonizers and colonized nations. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection today, we are transported back to a time when North America was still being shaped by its colonial past. It serves as a reminder of the rich history shared between Canada and Britain while shedding light on the diverse cultures that have contributed to shaping these lands. This lithograph is not just an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable historical document that allows us to appreciate the significance of such royal tours in fostering diplomatic relations with indigenous communities across North America.
