EDITORS COMMENTS
The Duke and Duchess of York, accompanied by a distinguished royal party, are captured in this lithograph as they ascend one of the inclines at the Dinorwic Slate Quarries in Carnarvonshire. The image, created by Samuel Begg and published in The Illustrated London News on May 6th, 1899, offers a glimpse into a momentous royal visit to Wales. Intriguingly detailed, the print showcases the grandeur and importance of mining during that era. Lord Carrington and Mrs Assheton Smith can be seen alongside their Royal Highnesses as they explore the impressive quarry site. This engraving serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of this significant event. The Duke and Duchess appear regal yet approachable as they navigate their way up one of the inclines with grace. Their presence symbolizes not only their interest in industry but also their commitment to engaging with local communities across Britain. This lithograph from Bridgeman Images captures a unique moment where royalty meets industry against the backdrop of stunning Welsh landscapes. It invites viewers to reflect on both the power dynamics between social classes during that time period and how industrialization shaped society. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when coal mines held immense economic significance while simultaneously showcasing the enduring allure of British royalty.
