The title is the only specific detail this record gives, and it is flagged as unverified, so the particular journey and its location remain unconfirmed. "Royal progress" describes a ceremonial tour in which a monarch or royal family travels through its territories, greeted by processions and crowds along the route, a custom with deep roots in European courts. The picture survives as a 5 by 7 inch glass negative from the Bain News Service, the New York photo agency that supplied pictures of current events to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Anyone relying on the caption for research should confirm the subject first.
