EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Commander in Chiefs Camp during the grand Coronation Durbar ceremony in Delhi, India, held in December 1911. The British Raj was at its zenith during this imperial event, marking the formal coronation of King George V and Queen Mary as Emperor and Empress of India. The Commander in Chiefs Camp, a temporary encampment, was the hub of military and administrative activity during the Durbar. The camp is filled with an array of tents, each one housing important dignitaries and military commanders. The British officers are seen here relaxing in their tented quarters, some engaging in leisure activities, while others attend to official matters. The background of the photograph reveals a line of cars, ready to transport the dignitaries to the Durbar Hall for the formal proceedings. A beautifully adorned flowerbed adds a touch of elegance to the scene. The military presence is palpable, with soldiers standing guard and horses tethered nearby. The Coronation Durbar was a symbol of British power and authority in India, a testament to the colonial rule that lasted for over two centuries. The grandeur of the event, as depicted in this photograph, underscores the magnitude of the British Raj's influence and the intricacies of the imperial administration.
