EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Princes in the Grand State Entry, Durbar, Delhi, India" takes us back to a time of opulence and grandeur. Captured by Underwood & Underwood, this stereoscopic card detail transports us to an era when the British Raj held sway over India. In this monochrome image, we witness a mesmerizing spectacle unfold before our eyes. The scene is set amidst a bustling crowd eagerly watching as Indian princes on majestic elephants make their way through the streets of Delhi. The riders exude regal elegance as they navigate through the procession with grace and poise. This photograph encapsulates not only the splendor of royalty but also serves as a reminder of colonialism's influence on Hindoostan. The durbar itself has transformed from its original purpose into a ceremonial event showcasing loyalty to the British crown or commemorating significant occasions such as coronations or jubilees. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, it becomes evident that pageantry played an essential role in maintaining control over vast territories under British rule. Through stereoscopic photography techniques employed by Underwood & Underwood, viewers are transported back in time to experience firsthand the magnificence and power wielded by both Indian royalty and their colonial masters. This print serves as a testament to our collective history while simultaneously inviting contemplation about the complex dynamics between empire and subject during this period of global dominance for Britain.
