Framed panoramic image of a children's display at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, held for Edward, Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VIII) during his 1920 Australian Tour. The image is made from seven separate photographs which have been attached to a cardboard backing, and shows a view of the MCG from the Pavilion to the Southern Stand, with several thousand spectators and many hundreds of performers on the field, forming a shape of Australia with the words, "OUR PRINCE" in the centre. The image comes with a wooden mount which has white lettering that reads, "Children's Display on M.C.C.Grounds / In Honor (sic.) of "Princes" Visit / 31st May 1920".
