Colonies Dukes Oath Oaths Taking Three
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Tour of the Colonies - Dukes Taking Oaths," showcases a significant historical moment in the late 19th century. The image features three royal dukes, each solemnly taking an oath, surrounded by an ornate lantern slide frame. The exact date of this event is estimated to be around 1900. The Tour of the Colonies was a series of official visits made by members of the British Royal Family to various parts of the British Empire. This particular photograph captures a moment from one of these tours, likely in the colonies of either Canada, Australia, or New Zealand. The three royal dukes, dressed in their formal regalia, are seen taking an oath, possibly renewing their commitment to upholding the duties and responsibilities associated with their titles. The intricately designed lantern slide frame adds an elegant and theatrical touch to the photograph, making it a striking visual representation of the grandeur and importance of the occasion. The use of a lantern slide implies that this image was likely intended for use in a lecture or presentation, possibly as part of a travelogue or educational program. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the historical significance of the British monarchy's role in the colonies during the late 1800s. The solemn expressions and formal attire of the dukes, combined with the ornate lantern slide frame, create a powerful and evocative image that transports us back in time.
