EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "From Rajgarh, 1903" by Mortimer L Menpes takes us back to a significant event in Indian history. Known as the Imperial Durbar or Delhi Durbar, this grand gathering was held three times during the height of the British Empire to commemorate the succession of an Emperor or Empress of India. The image showcases a distinguished man from Madhya Pradesh, India, dressed in vibrant traditional attire. The subject's striking appearance is accentuated by his rose-colored turban adorned with gold accents and a magnificent headdress. His well-groomed beard adds an air of wisdom and authority to his countenance. This portrait captures not only the individual's regal presence but also reflects the opulence and splendor associated with such royal events. Mortimer Menpes skillfully brings out every intricate detail through his artistry, allowing us to appreciate both the cultural richness and imperial influence present during this period. The photograph serves as a visual testament to British imperialism in Hindoostan (India) while showcasing its fusion with local traditions. Accompanied by Dorothy Menpes' insightful text, this print offers viewers a glimpse into one of history's most significant moments – when King Edward VII ascended to power as Emperor of India alongside Queen Alexandra. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur and majesty that characterized these momentous occasions at the turn of the 20th century.
