EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous occasion in British history. It showcases George V, the King of Great Britain from 1936, riding on an elegant elephant during a hunting expedition in Nepal. The image was taken in December 1911 when George V visited India to be installed as the King-Emperor of India. The composition is striking, with the majestic elephant taking center stage against a backdrop of lush greenery. George V sits atop the magnificent creature, exuding regal poise and confidence. His attire reflects his royal status, adorned with elaborate garments and accessories. This photograph not only highlights the grandeur of royalty but also provides insight into the historical context of British colonial rule in India. It symbolizes the power dynamics between Britain and its colonies during that era. The image offers a glimpse into an exotic adventure for both George V and his entourage while showcasing their fascination with local customs and traditions. It serves as a visual testament to the influence and impact that British monarchs had on distant lands. Preserved through time by Ernest Brooks' lens, this print allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. It invites viewers to reflect upon an era defined by exploration, imperialism, cultural exchange, and political dominance – all encapsulated within this single frame capturing one extraordinary moment in time.
