Colonies Coronation Honorary Procession
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures an intriguing moment from the Coronation Procession of King Edward VII in 1902, as part of the Tour of the Colonies. In the background, Lord Nelson's Column stands proudly in Trafalgar Square, London, providing a striking backdrop to the event. The Marharajahs of Indore and Patiala, two prominent Indian rulers, are depicted in this image, proudly riding on elegant elephants as they take part in the procession. The Marharajah of Indore, wearing a golden turban and a red robe, sits regally on his elephant, while the Marharajah of Patiala, dressed in a white robe and a golden headdress, follows closely behind. The lantern slide, part of the Boswell collection, offers a unique perspective on the Coronation Procession, which was attended by representatives from the British Empire's colonies and protectorates. The Marharajahs, as honorary Indian guests, were among the many dignitaries who traveled great distances to pay their respects to the new monarch. The photograph is a testament to the complex and intricate relationships between Britain and its colonies during the imperial era. It also highlights the rich cultural diversity that was an integral part of the British Empire, as symbolized by the presence of these Indian rulers in London for the Coronation. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into history, offering a window into a bygone era and the intricacies of imperial politics.
