The photograph showcases the grand opening ceremony of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London's Royal Albert Hall. The monarch of that time, Queen Victoria, is depicted in regal attire, seated on a throne, engrossed in reading Her Majesty's reply to the address given by her son, Prince Albert Edward, later known as King Edward VII. The Prince of Wales, dressed in military uniform, stands attentively beside her, listening intently. The audience, filled with dignitaries and people from all walks of life, is seen in the background, eagerly watching the proceedings.
