EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage stereoview card from circa 1900 India takes us back in time to the grandeur of the Viceregal Lodge, also known as the Palace of Viceroy at Sinja. The South front of this magnificent building is captured beautifully through the stereoscope lens, showcasing its architectural splendor and historical significance. At that time, this regal residence belonged to George Nathaniel Curzon, Lord Kedleston, who held immense power as the ruler of India. As we gaze upon this image with our own eyes, we can truly appreciate the picturesque phrases used by a recent writer to describe Lord Curzon's position as Indian Viceroy. Perched atop a Himalayan hill, overlooking the vast plain of Sutlej and surrounded by majestic snow-capped ridges in every direction, Lord Curzon governed an expansive India that stretched two thousand miles to the south. He was a figure of great importance and ambition - one of Empire's rising stars seeking recognition both at home and abroad. Lord Curzon's presence on our history's open page commands our interest while inviting criticism. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of his influential role during that era. Photographed by John Short for Design Pics (not for commercial use), this antique stereoview card offers us a glimpse into India's social history and allows us to marvel at both its architectural beauty and political significance.
