EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the illuminations at Benares in northern India during the Prince of Wales's historic visit in 1876. The Prince, who later became King Edward VII, is depicted in the foreground of the image, seated in a grandly decorated boat as it glides along the River Ganges. The water reflects the brilliant colors of the illuminations, which were put on in honor of the royal guest. The 1870s were a time of great fascination with India among the British, and the Prince's tour of the subcontinent was a significant event. The illuminations were a grand display of the wealth and power of the British Raj, and the image captures the sense of wonder and excitement that surrounded the royal visit. The Prince's boat ride along the River Ganges was a highlight of the tour, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the grandeur and splendor of the occasion. The illuminations are a beautiful and enchanting sight, with lights twinkling in the night sky and reflections shimmering on the water. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of India and the power of royal visits to capture the imagination of the world.
