EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history - the mesmerizing Lama dance performed before the Prince of Wales in 1876. In Jammu, India, masked Buddhist monks adorned in intricate costumes engage in a sacred ritual dance for the future King Edward VII. The image showcases the rich cultural heritage of Jammu and Kashmir as these male dancers gracefully move to the rhythm of traditional music played by fellow musicians. The detailed engraving highlights every aspect of their attire, from flowing robes to ornate masks that conceal their identities. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we witness not only an artistic performance but also a significant religious ceremony. These devoted monks embody spirituality and devotion through their synchronized movements and expressions. The presence of royalty adds an extra layer of prestige to this event. Prince Edward's interest in different cultures is evident as he witnesses this unique display firsthand. His fascination with Eastern traditions reflects his role as a future leader who seeks to understand diverse customs within his realm. Preserved for posterity by The Illustrated London News, this print serves as a testament to both historical documentation and artistic expression. It invites us to appreciate the beauty found within religious rituals while reminding us of our shared humanity across time and borders.
