EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving captures a significant moment in history as The Prince of Wales lays the Memorial-Stone of the Indian Institute at Oxford. This remarkable image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the grandeur and ceremonial nature of this event. In this scene, we witness a masonic procession led by His Royal Highness himself. Dressed in regal attire, he holds a mallet to test the sturdiness of the stone before laying it with utmost precision. Surrounding him is a distinguished party that includes members of royalty and other important figures. The engraving beautifully portrays the architectural splendor of Oxfordshire's Indian Institute building as it serves as a backdrop for this memorable ceremony. The memorial stone symbolizes not only progress but also cultural exchange between India and Britain during that era. This historical moment was captured for posterity through an illustration published in The Illustrated London News on May 12,1883. It offers us a glimpse into an era when royal patronage played a vital role in shaping institutions like the Indian Institute. Bridgeman Images presents this exquisite print from their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate both its artistic merit and its historical significance. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back to a time when tradition met innovation and international collaboration flourished under royal patronage
