EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the royal procession on Esplanade Road, Bombay, during the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to India in 1911. The occasion was their attendance at the Delhi Durbar, a grand ceremony held to commemorate their coronation as Emperor and Empress of India. The image showcases the opulence and grandeur associated with colonialism and the British Raj. As horse-drawn carriages make their way through the bustling streets, soldiers stand guard while crowds gather to catch a glimpse of royalty. The buildings lining Esplanade Road provide a majestic backdrop, reminding us of Bombay's architectural heritage. This postcard from the early 20th century offers a window into Indian history and culture during this time period. It symbolizes both admiration for monarchy and pride in Indian identity. The presence of King George V and Queen Mary signifies not only their authority but also highlights India's place within the vast British Empire. As we observe this scene frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of an era marked by pageantry, power dynamics, and cultural exchange between nations. This photograph is part of Bridgeman Images' collection that preserves historical moments like these for future generations to appreciate.
