EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1868, we witness a momentous occasion as His Royal Highness, Prince Alfred, receives the address of the Glenelg Corporation in Australia. As a son of Queen Victoria, his presence commands attention and respect. The scene is set amidst a bustling crowd gathered at Glenelg, South Australia. The grandstand stands tall in the background adorned with flags representing both Britain and Australia. A marquee has been erected to accommodate the distinguished guests attending this royal event. People eagerly await Prince Alfred's speech while holding banners proudly displaying their loyalty to the crown. This engraving captures an important chapter in history - a testament to the strong ties between Britain and its Australian colony during the 19th century. The Illustrated London News immortalizes this significant moment for future generations to admire. Prince Alfred himself exudes regality as he graciously accepts the address from representatives of the Glenelg Corporation. Dressed impeccably in Victorian attire, he stands out among his male companions who surround him with admiration. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this remarkable image that showcases not only royalty but also highlights how communities came together to honor their country's connection with British royalty. This print serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and celebrates an era when such events were met with great enthusiasm by people across continents.
