Delhi Durbar 1911 The Brilliant Proclamation Scene, Matania
Proclamation by the native herald during the Delhi Durbar of 1911 as recorded in person by the artist Fortunino Matania on 12 December 1911. The Delhi herald was General Peyton in a tabard bearing the Royal Standard front and back together with the assistant herald, Malik Umar Hayat Khan, a Punjab magnate of martial bearing. Twelve British and twelve Indian trumpeters, all on white horses, followed the heralds, blowing a stirring fanfare. The heralds then turned on horseback to face the crowd to read the proclamation, one in English, one in Urdu. Behind on the huge, ornate dais sit King George V and Queen Mary. Matania bore witness to the event, dressing in ceremonial uniform in order to merge in and get as close to action as possible. Date: 1911

EDITORS COMMENTS
Delhi Durbar 1911: The Brilliant Proclamation Scene as Recorded by Fortunino Matania This photograph print depicts a pivotal moment during the Delhi Durbar of 1911, an extravagant event marking the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary as Emperor and Empress of India. The scene captures the proclamation being read by General Peyton, the Delhi herald, and his assistant, Malik Umar Hayat Khan, a Punjab magnate. General Peyton, dressed in a tabard bearing the Royal Standard, faces the crowd on horseback, accompanied by twelve British and twelve Indian trumpeters, all riding on white horses and blowing a stirring fanfare. The heralds read the proclamation in both English and Urdu, signifying the unity and diversity of the British Raj. In the background, King George V and Queen Mary sit regally on the huge, ornate dais, watching the proceedings. Fortunino Matania, the renowned Italian artist, bore witness to this magnificent ceremony and dressed in ceremonial uniform to merge in and get as close to the action as possible. This photograph print is a testament to the splendour and pomp of the Delhi Durbar, a grand display of the British Empire's power and influence in India. The oriental setting, with its rich colours and intricate details, adds to the overall sense of majesty and grandeur. The heralds' horseback ride and the blowing of the trumpets add to the excitement and energy of the scene, making it a truly unforgettable moment in history.
