Benares Course Duchess Elephant Ride 1901


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1901, during a momentous tour of the British Empire by George V and Mary, when they were still known as the Duke and Duchess of York. The image captures a truly extraordinary scene - the royal couple riding atop an elegant elephant through the enchanting city of Benares in India. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it is impossible not to be filled with awe at the grandeur and significance of this event. The regal presence of George V exudes power and authority, while his beloved wife Mary radiates elegance and grace. Together, they symbolize the strength and unity of the British monarchy during that era. The majestic elephant beneath them adds an element of exoticism to this already mesmerizing tableau. Its gentle stride seems perfectly synchronized with their royal procession through Benares – a city steeped in history and spirituality. This photograph serves as a vivid reminder of Britain's colonial past, showcasing both its imperial might and cultural curiosity. It encapsulates a pivotal moment in history when empires were explored, alliances forged, and connections made across vast distances. Preserved by Mary Evans Picture Library for future generations to admire, this print invites us into an enthralling world where kings rode elephants through ancient cities on journeys that shaped nations.
