Tour of the Colonies - Quebec Illuminations: A Royal Sight to Behold This photograph captures a moment in time from the Tour of the Colonies, an extensive royal tour of Canada in the late 19th century. In this image, the royal party, including members of the British monarchy, is mesmerized by the Quebec Illuminations, an annual spectacle held in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Quebec, a province in east-central Canada, is unique among its Canadian counterparts for its predominantly French-speaking population and French as its sole provincial official language. Established in 1608, Quebec boasts a rich history and cultural heritage that continues to thrive today. The Tour of the Colonies, which took place between 1860 and 1879, was an ambitious endeavor to strengthen the ties between the British monarchy and its North American colonies. The tour included visits to various provinces and territories, providing an opportunity for the royal family to engage with the people and witness the progress and development of the region. As the royal party watches the Quebec Illuminations at sea, the vibrant display of lights reflects off the water, creating a breathtaking scene. The illuminations, a tradition that dates back to the 17th century, were a symbol of the province's pride and celebration of its rich heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and grandeur of this historic event and the unique connection between the monarchy and the people of Quebec.
