EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the annals of British colonialism - "The First Proclamation of the Indian Imperial Title of the British Crown at Delhi". Taken on New Year's Day, 1877, this image showcases the grandeur and opulence surrounding this significant event. In the center stands Prince of Wales (later Edward VII), resplendent in his regal attire, donning a bicorn hat and an elaborate cape. His uniform symbolizes not only his status as heir to the British throne but also represents the might and power of the expanding British Empire. The prince is surrounded by dignitaries, both English and Indian, who have gathered to witness this proclamation. The scene unfolds on a magnificent staircase adorned with richly embroidered fabrics and ornate canopies. A sense of anticipation fills the air as trumpets blare fanfare announcing this momentous occasion. The prince's presence underlines Britain's commitment to its imperial rule over India. This photograph serves as a testament to Britain's colonial ambitions during that era while also highlighting their fascination with ceremonial pomp and pageantry. It encapsulates an epoch when England held sway over vast territories across continents. Preserved for posterity in fine detail through lithography by Amato G. S. , this image from The Illustrated London News offers us a glimpse into history - reminding us of both triumphs and complexities associated with colonial rule.
