EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Lord Roberts Headquarters, Camp of Exercise in Delhi around 1890. The military camp served as the headquarters for Frederick Sleigh Roberts, 1st Earl Roberts, who was the British commander in chief in India from 1885 to 1893. The image is taken from "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts, Vol. III - To The End of Lord Robertss Indian Career" by J. Maclaren Cobban. In this historic photograph, we see a sprawling encampment set against the backdrop of Delhi's landscape. Tents dot the area as soldiers go about their daily routines under the command of Field Marshal Lord Roberts. This snapshot offers a glimpse into military life during that era and showcases the strategic importance of Delhi as a cantonment. The photographer Raja Deen Dayal and Sons skillfully captured this momentous scene with great attention to detail. Their monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia to this remarkable piece of history. As we delve into this image, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a military camp; it symbolizes Britain's imperial presence in India during the late 19th century. It serves as a testament to Lord Roberts' leadership and his significant contributions to British rule on the subcontinent. This print is not only an invaluable historical artifact but also an artistic representation that allows us to connect with our past and appreciate the complexities of colonialism in India during that time period.
