EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print depicts the majestic King of Cochin, ruling over the princely state of Kochi in Kerala, India, during the year 1752. The King is shown gracefully seated atop an elegantly adorned elephant, symbolizing his power and authority. The regal elephant, bedecked with intricate gold and silver ornaments, carries the monarch with an air of dignity and grandeur. The King is attended by his Nayros, or ministers, who are seen following him on horses. The Nayros, dressed in traditional attire, are deeply engrossed in conversation with each other, indicating the importance of their discussions. The serene backdrop of lush greenery and a tranquil lake adds to the ethereal beauty of the scene. The artistry of this print is evident in the intricate details of the clothing, accessories, and ornaments worn by the King and his Nayros. The delicate shading and the use of vibrant colors bring the image to life, transporting the viewer to a bygone era of opulence and grandeur. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of India during the 18th century, providing valuable insights into the lives of the royalty and their courtiers. The King of Cochin, riding on an elephant, attended by his Nayros, is a testament to the grandeur and splendor of the Indian royalty, a tradition that continues to captivate and inspire us even today.
