The Viceroys Camp at the Imperial Assemblage, January 1877
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the Proclamation Durbar of 1877 held in Calcutta. The ceremony was organized to declare Queen Victoria as Empress of India by the British, symbolizing their imperial power over the subcontinent. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness the grandeur and opulence of the event. The Viceroy of India, Lord Lytton, stands tall amidst a sea of maharajas, nawabs, intellectuals, and members of the armed forces. Their presence signifies both loyalty towards British rule and their own status within Indian society. The photograph beautifully showcases an expansive landscape dotted with tents that make up "The Viceroys Camp". Horses stand gracefully nearby while soldiers maintain order around them. This image is a testament to Britain's military might during this period. Captured by renowned photographers Bourne & Shepherd under Samuel Bourne's lensmanship, every detail is meticulously preserved in this historical artifact from 1901. It serves as a visual reminder of Britain's dominance during its imperial heyday. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from J. Maclaren Cobban's book "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts" we are transported back to an era when empires were built on conquests and proclamations echoed across nations. It is through such images that we can reflect upon our shared past and strive for a more inclusive future.
