EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in Australian history - the Procession of the Governors at the Melbourne Exhibition of 1888. The image showcases a grand celebration, with distinguished men dressed in elaborate uniforms, representing different regions of Australia. This commemorative procession was held to mark the centennial anniversary of British colonization in Victoria. The photograph exudes a sense of pride and patriotism as these governors, symbolizing colonial power, march through the streets of Melbourne. Each governor represents their respective state or territory, including New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, and Western Australia. Among them are notable figures such as Sir Frederick Carrington and Henry Loch. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this historic moment captured on film. It serves as a reminder of Australia's past under British rule and its journey towards independence. This print is not only a visual representation but also an important historical document that sheds light on the country's colonial heritage. It stands as a testament to Australia's progress over time while honoring those who played significant roles in shaping its early development. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from 1908 by Arthur Mee et al. , we are transported back to an era filled with celebrations and commemorations that have left an indelible mark on Australian history.
