The Visitors Being Introduced To The Dean - Colonial and Indian Visitors at Canterbury, 1886
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1886, capturing a significant moment in history. A large party of Colonists and Indians associated with the Colinderies embarked on a visit to Canterbury, Kent. The Colinderies was an exhibition organized under the patronage of the Prince of Wales at South Kensington that aimed to showcase colonial and Indian cultures. In this image, we witness these esteemed visitors being warmly received by the Archbishop at Christchurch Gate, which served as the principal entrance to Canterbury Cathedral. This magnificent gateway, constructed between 1504 and 1521, stands as an architectural marvel from the sixteenth century. The photograph beautifully portrays a blend of cultures as British flags flutter in the background while Indian guests proudly display their own standards. Men dressed in traditional attire stand alongside those adorned in Victorian clothing, representing both colonialism and Christianity. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of our shared history—a testament to how different nations came together through religion and exploration during an era marked by change. It is through such encounters that cultural exchange thrives—bridging gaps between countries and fostering understanding among diverse communities. This remarkable print allows us to glimpse into this historical event—an encounter that shaped perceptions and left lasting impressions for generations to come.
