THE IMPERIAL VISITORS AL BALMORAL VISIT TO MAR LODGE. INTERESTING PROCEEDINGS. 1200 PHOTOGRAPHS. Yesterday's proceedings in connection with the visit to Upper Deeside of the Emperor and Empress of Russia were of a most interesting nature. In the forenoon their Imperial Majesties accompanied the Queen in Her Majesty's usual daily walk in the grounds of Balmoral Castle, and in the afternoon Her Majesty and the Emperor and Empress and several members of the Royal family paid a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Fife at Mar Lodge. [...] It may be mentioned that yesterday's visit was of a purely private nature. None of the Russian suite accompanied Their Imperial Majesties. During the seventy seconds which elapsed between the time the carriages drew up at the entrance to Mar Lodge and the entry of the Royal and Imperial party Mr W. D. Downey, the well-known photographer, of Elbury Street, London, took no fewer than twelve hundred photographs by means of the cinematescope, the latest invention in connection with photography.Aberden Press and Journal, jeudi 1er octobre 1896, p. 5.
