EDITORS COMMENTS
The Royal Colonial Tour, the Duke of Cornwall on the Pacific Coast (engraving) captures a momentous occasion in Canadian history. This print showcases the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall at Vancouver's Canadian Pacific Railway Station during their royal visit to Canada in 1901. The engraving, created by Melton Prior after an original artwork, beautifully depicts the grandeur and ceremonial nature of this significant event. As the royal party disembarks from their train, they are greeted by a bustling street scene filled with eager Canadians who have come to catch a glimpse of royalty. The image highlights not only the presence of esteemed members of British royalty but also offers a snapshot into early 20th-century transportation and fashion. The Duke is seen astride his horse, surrounded by an entourage that includes racehorses, ponies, shire horses, and other livestock. This historical print serves as a reminder of Canada's deep connection to its colonial past and its enduring ties to British monarchy. It symbolizes both national pride and international diplomacy as it captures a moment when two nations came together in celebration. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this engraving continues to evoke awe and admiration for its artistic representation of an important chapter in Canadian history.
