Delhi at the Time of the Delhi Durbar, Probably 1911: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures a part of the sprawling camp established for the Delhi Durbar of 1911, an extravagant coronation ceremony held in Delhi, India, to mark the formal coronation of King George V and Queen Mary as Emperor and Empress of India. The event, which took place on December 12, 1911, was a grand display of British power and influence in India, attracting dignitaries, nobles, and commoners from all corners of the British Empire. The image showcases a vibrant and bustling scene, with a mix of architectural wonders from different eras, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Delhi. In the foreground, traditional Indian structures, such as the red sandstone and marble buildings of the Red Fort, stand proudly alongside more modern European-style tents and structures. The camp's sprawling grounds extend into the distance, with soldiers and camp followers milling about, creating a lively and colorful tableau. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s, is an albumen print, a popular photographic process during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The image's antique quality adds to its allure, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and opulence. The scene is a testament to the rich history and diverse cultural influences that have shaped Delhi, a city that continues to be a melting pot of the old and the new, the traditional and the modern. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the travelers who came before us, exploring the wonders of India and documenting their experiences through photographs. This image is a precious piece of our shared heritage, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of Delhi and its storied history.
