EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Commissioners of the Colonial Exhibition" takes us back to a significant moment in history, specifically the 19th century. This remarkable print, part of a private collection, showcases an illustration originally published in The Illustrated London News on August 14th, 1886. The image captures a group of distinguished individuals who played pivotal roles in shaping colonialism and its impact on various regions. Among them are notable figures such as the Honourable Malcolm Fraser, Lieutenant Colonel Edmund Palmer from the Royal Artillery, and Sir Rutherford Alcock. These commissioners were entrusted with overseeing the organization and success of the Colonial Exhibition held in London. As we delve into this visual narrative, we witness politicians and knights commanders gathered together to discuss matters concerning West Australia, North Borneo, Mauritius, Queensland, St Helena and many more territories under colonial rule. Their presence symbolizes power and authority as they proudly display their prestigious orders such as Order of St Michael or Knight Commander of Bath. This engraving not only serves as a historical record but also highlights the influence that these commissioners had over vast expanses of land during an era defined by imperialism. It invites us to reflect upon both the achievements and consequences associated with colonial exhibitions like this one. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this piece for future generations to appreciate its artistic value while gaining insight into our complex past.
