EDITORS COMMENTS
A Standard-bearer, 1903" is a captivating print that captures the essence of the Imperial Durbar held in Delhi during the height of the British Empire. The image showcases a magnificent procession led by a regal standard-bearer, adorned in vibrant ceremonial attire and an elaborate headdress. The photograph transports us back to early 20th century India, where four people stand beside this distinguished figure. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as they gather to mark the succession of an Emperor or Empress of India. Flags flutter proudly in the air, representing both Britain and its Indian territories. Amidst this grandeur, we catch sight of an elephant gracefully making its way through the crowd. Its majestic presence adds to the spectacle unfolding before our eyes. The pink hues accentuate the vibrancy and splendor of this royal event. This artwork was masterfully created by Mortimer L Menpes, renowned for his ability to capture cultural events with great attention to detail. Through his lens, we witness not only a historical moment but also gain insight into British imperialism and its impact on Hindoostan. As we delve into "A Standard-bearer" we are transported back in time - witnessing history unfold before our very eyes. This print serves as a testament to Mortimer Menpes' talent as well as commemorating an era when empires collided and cultures merged under one banner at Delhi Durbar.
