EDITORS COMMENTS
Visit of the Duke and Duchess of Connaught to Hong-Kong (engraving) captures a momentous occasion in history, showcasing the grandeur and ceremonial nature of royal visits. This 19th-century engraving, part of a private collection, depicts the arrival of the Duke and Duchess at Hong Kong's harbour. The image showcases various elements that symbolize royalty and prestige. The Duke and Duchess are seen being carried in elegant sedan chairs by Chinese coolies, while their entourage follows behind. The scene is illuminated with triumphal arches and decorative lighting, creating an atmosphere of celebration. As they make their way towards Government House, where they will be received with great honor, the couple passes through Praya Reclamation Works. A memorial stone can be seen in the background as a testament to this historic event. The attention to detail extends beyond the royals themselves; even the furnishings on display highlight opulence. Upholstered goods such as chairs adorn Pedders Wharf as part of an elaborate setting for this special visit. This engraving not only offers a glimpse into a significant historical event but also serves as a reminder of how royal visits were once celebrated with great pomp and ceremony. It allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in its creation and provides insight into societal norms during that era.
