EDITORS COMMENTS
The Opening of the Alexandra Dock at Cardiff in 1907 (1908) - A Historic Moment for Wales". This print captures a significant moment in British history - the opening ceremony of the Alexandra Dock at Cardiff in 1907. The artist, Queen Alexandra herself, beautifully portrays this grand event that marked a new era for South Wales. In attendance are King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, who graced Cardiff with their presence to inaugurate the dock. This remarkable infrastructure would serve as a vital hub for exporting coal mined in South Wales to destinations across the globe. The image showcases an array of ships lined up along the deck, ready to transport this valuable resource. The attire worn by those present reflects the fashion trends of early 20th century Britain. Men donned navy uniforms and sailors' caps while women adorned elegant dresses and hats befitting such an important occasion. Queen Alexandra's photograph was featured in her Christmas Gift Book, "Photographs from My Camera" published by The Daily Telegraph in London during 1908. Through this publication, she shared her passion for photography with others. This image not only commemorates a momentous day but also highlights the significance of maritime transportation and trade during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how docks like Alexandra played a crucial role in shaping nations and connecting them through commerce. Overall, Queen Alexandra's artistic representation offers us a glimpse into history - capturing both regal elegance and industrial progress within one frame.
