A Standard-bearer of Cutch, 1903
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. In this print by Mortimer L Menpes, we are transported to the grandeur and opulence of early 20th century India. The image showcases a side view of an extraordinary scene unfolding during a royal event. In the foreground stands a proud and regal man on horseback, his profile outlined against the vibrant backdrop of flags fluttering in the wind. He is adorned in traditional Indian attire, exuding an air of authority and dignity as he holds aloft a magnificent banner representing his country - Cutch. The majestic horses surrounding him add to the spectacle, their presence emphasizing both power and grace. As our gaze extends beyond them, we catch glimpses of other individuals gathered for this momentous occasion – men dressed in ceremonial garb paying homage to their land and heritage. This photograph not only celebrates the rich cultural tapestry of India but also serves as a reminder of its historical ties with British imperialism. It was taken during Delhi Durbar, where King Edward VII (the then Prince Albert Edward) was proclaimed Emperor of India. Through Mortimer Menpes' lens, we witness an amalgamation of tradition and modernity; it encapsulates the essence of that era when two worlds collided amidst pomp and circumstance. This print is not just an artwork; it is a portal into history itself – transporting us back to Gujarat's royal past while igniting our imagination with tales from Hind
