EDITORS COMMENTS
The Royal Colonial Tour, the Duke of Cornwall at Cape Town (engraving) captures a momentous occasion in South African history. In this print by Ralph Cleaver, we witness the grandeur and significance of the Duke's visit to Cape Town during his royal tour. The image showcases a procession along Adderley Street, with the Vice Chancellor leading the way as they make their way towards Greenmarket Square. The Duke of Cornwall can be seen conferring degrees upon graduates from the University of Cape Town, dressed in their elegant robes. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as onlookers gather to witness this prestigious ceremony. Amidst all the ceremonial splendor stands a triumphal arch adorned with symbols representing royalty and colonial power. It serves as a reminder of both South Africa's connection to its colonial past and its aspirations for an independent future. This engraving not only immortalizes this historic event but also highlights the importance placed on education and knowledge during that time. It symbolizes progress, unity, and respect for tradition. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back in time to relive a moment when Cape Town was graced by royalty. It reminds us of our shared heritage and invites us to reflect on how far we have come since then.
