EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous event in history - the arrival of Native Princes at the Imperial Assemblage in Delhi, 1877. The image, taken by George Landseer, showcases the grandeur and opulence of this significant gathering. In the foreground stands a majestic elephant adorned with intricate decorations, carrying an esteemed Maharaja seated on a magnificent howdah. The regal procession is accompanied by an entourage of flunkeys and footmen dressed in elaborate attire, adding to the spectacle. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of sprawling tents and flagpoles proudly displaying the Union Jack alongside other vibrant banners. This visual juxtaposition symbolizes both British colonial power and Indian royalty coming together for this historic occasion. The print transports us back to a time when India was under British rule but still retained its rich cultural heritage. It offers us a glimpse into the world of maharajas and their lavish lifestyles during this era. Preserved within the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, this remarkable artwork serves as a testament to Landseer's talent for capturing moments that transcend time. It invites viewers to reflect upon India's complex past while appreciating its enduring beauty.
