EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1886, Queen Victoria is seen paying a visit to the South Australian Court at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London. The Exhibition, held from May to October 1886, showcased various exhibits from colonies of the British Empire, including South Australia and India. Queen Victoria's presence at the event underscored the importance of these territories to the British Empire and served to reinforce the connection between the mother country and its colonies. The image captures the Queen in a regal pose, seated in a covered carriage, as she makes her way through the Exhibition grounds. Surrounded by her entourage, she is dressed in her finest attire, including a long, flowing gown and a diamond diadem. In the background, the South Australian Court can be seen, adorned with flags and banners representing the colony. The scene is not without a sense of the exotic, as evidenced by the Aboriginal Australians who are present, dressed in traditional attire and paddling a canoe in the foreground. The inclusion of these figures underscores the reach of British colonialism and the diverse peoples and cultures it encompassed. The landscape, with its lush greenery and clear blue waters, serves as a picturesque backdrop to the historical moment. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the colonial era and the role of Queen Victoria as a symbol of British power and influence. It is a reminder of the complex and far-reaching impact of colonialism, as well as the diverse peoples and cultures that were brought together under the British Empire.
