- Summary:
- This film of the 1901 Trafalgar Day celebrations in Liverpool, was commissioned by the exhibitor Ralph Pringle from the Mitchell and Kenyon Company. Pringle's rather confusingly named North American Animated Photo Company covered a circuit extending from the Midlands all the way to Scotland and down to the South West. The film of this elaborate public event was intended to be shown locally in Liverpool. Trafalgar Day is an annual celebration of the great victory of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson's British fleet over the combined French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21, 1805. It was widely commemorated by parades, dinners and other events throughout much of the British Empire in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Liverpool, as one of the great British ports, would have particular cause to display its patriotism on this day. It is notable that the merchant navy is prominently included in the parade, which would explain the multiracial mix.
