EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Annexation of New Guinea as a Crown Colony. Taken in 1888, it showcases Dr. William McGregor, the newly appointed Administrator, standing proudly amidst a group of armed forces personnel. The image exudes an air of authority and power, with McGregor donning his military uniform and holding himself with confidence. The British flag flies high above them all, symbolizing the colonial control exerted by Britain over this new territory. The scene is set on a parade ground, where troops are gathered to mark this momentous occasion. McGregor's presence commands attention as he assumes his role as Lieutenant Governor, responsible for governing and shaping the future of New Guinea under British rule. This photograph not only documents an important event but also provides valuable insights into the era of Victorian imperialism. It serves as a reminder of Britain's expansive empire-building efforts during the 19th century and their impact on countries across Asia. Preserved through time by The Graphic newspaper volume from July to December 1888, this print offers us a glimpse into history that would otherwise be lost. Its monochromatic composition adds depth and gravitas to the narrative captured within its frame. As we observe this remarkable image today, we are reminded of both the triumphs and complexities associated with colonialism while acknowledging its lasting influence on our world today.
