EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Tailor, 1903" captures a significant moment in history known as the Imperial Durbar. Held three times during the height of the British Empire, this event marked the succession of an Emperor or Empress of India. The artist behind this masterpiece is Mortimer L Menpes, who beautifully portrays a scene from one such Durbar held in Delhi. In this image, we see a distinguished Indian tailor seated amidst a gathering of people. His spectacles and beard add to his wise and experienced appearance while his traditional headdress and turban reflect his cultural heritage. With great attention to detail and vibrant colors, Menpes brings to life not only the tailor but also the rich tapestry of Indian culture. The setting itself speaks volumes about the time period - early 20th century India under British rule. This portrait serves as a reminder of both imperialism and its impact on Hindoostan (British India). It also offers us a glimpse into an era when King Edward VII reigned over Great Britain and Ireland. Through this remarkable print by Mortimer L Menpes, we are transported back in time to witness an important historical event that shaped both India's past and its future within the context of British imperialism.
