EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Duke and Duchess of York greeting Maori guides during their tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1927. The image showcases the meeting between British royalty and indigenous people, symbolizing the intersection of cultures and the impact of colonialism. The Duke, dressed impeccably in his royal attire, stands tall with an air of authority while extending his hand to one of the Maori guides. The Duchess, adorned in an elegant dress, exudes grace as she engages with another guide. Both royals wear hats that add a touch of sophistication to their appearance. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery in Rotorua, New Zealand's North Island, this encounter highlights not only the beauty of the location but also signifies a connection between two nations. It is evident from their expressions that both parties are engaged in friendly conversation. This photograph serves as a reminder of a bygone era - the 1920s - when travel was still considered an adventure for many. It also offers insight into how different cultures interacted during this time period. Preserved on card number 26 out of 50 from Our King And Queen cigarette cards produced for W. D. & H. O. Wills by The Imperial Tobacco Company, this historical gem allows us to glimpse into moments that shaped our world today without mentioning its commercial use or association with any specific company.
