Representatives of two royal families visit one of early 20th century Ireland's most ambitious exhibitions.
Non-Fiction 1902 3 mins Silent
Overview
A dozen years before hostilities broke out between Britain and Germany, members of their respective royal families visited the Cork Exhibition together on 8 May 1902. They are shown here inspecting one of its most imposing visual highlights: the gigantic water chute, which cost £3,000 to construct (nearer £300,000 today), as well as a police parade and more leisurely boating activities.
Arthur, Duke of Connaught (1850-1942) was Queen Victoria's third son, and the younger brother of King Edward VII. Prince Henry of Prussia (1862-1929), whose name was actually Heinrich, was the younger brother of the German Emperor Wilhelm II.
