EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as King George V and Queen Mary of England arrive at Apollo Bunder, Bombay, for their visit to India in 1911. The royal couple had come to attend the Delhi Durbar, a grand event held to commemorate the coronation of the British monarch as Emperor or Empress of India. In this image, we see the majestic ships that brought them across the Indian Ocean, anchored at the bustling port. The city of Bombay serves as an impressive backdrop with its colonial architecture and vibrant atmosphere. As they step ashore onto Indian soil, King George V and Queen Mary are greeted by a crowd of eager onlookers. This photograph not only showcases an important moment in British-Indian history but also highlights the influence and power of the British Empire during that time. It symbolizes both colonialism and diplomacy between nations. The postcard-like quality adds charm to this early 20th-century image, evoking nostalgia for a bygone era. It offers us a glimpse into a world where royalty traveled across continents to strengthen political ties and experience different cultures. With its historical significance and artistic appeal, this print is truly a treasure from our past that allows us to reflect upon the complex relationship between Britain and India during the height of imperial rule.
