EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Indian cavalry in the midst of their meticulous rehearsals for the grand Coronation Durbar procession in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, in 1911. The historic event was in preparation for the highly anticipated visit of King George V and Queen Mary. The soldiers, dressed in their resplendent uniforms and seated atop their well-groomed horses, are seen practicing their moves along the bustling streets of Apollo Bandar. The road is filled with a palpable sense of excitement and anticipation as the locals gather to catch a glimpse of the royal procession. The Asian continent was eager to welcome the British monarchs, and this rehearsal was a testament to the meticulous planning and preparation that went into ensuring a successful and memorable visit. The horses, too, seem poised and alert, their coats glistening in the sunlight. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of India and the pomp and pageantry of the Coronation Durbar, an event that marked a significant moment in the relationship between India and the British Empire.
