EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, His Majesty King George V and Queen Mary are seen laying the foundation stone of the new city of Delhi during their visit to India for the Coronation Durbar in December 1911. The event took place in Coronation Park, which was specially created for the occasion. The King, dressed in full regalia, is seen holding a golden trowel, while Queen Mary holds a posy of flowers. Surrounding them are a large crowd of dignitaries, military personnel, and Indian notables, all dressed in their finest attire. The Coronation Durbar was an imperial display of power and grandeur, marking the formal beginning of King George V's reign as Emperor of India. The new city of Delhi was chosen as the site for the Durbar as it held great historical significance as the capital of several ancient Indian empires. The construction of the new city was a symbol of British colonial rule and imperial power in India. The photograph captures the pomp and pageantry of the occasion, with the grand architecture of the backdrop adding to the imperial feel. The image is a testament to the historical significance of the event and the impact of colonialism on India's political and cultural landscape. The photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in India's colonial history, and a reminder of the enduring legacy of the British Raj. The photograph is a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, and is available for rights-managed use for historical, educational, and research purposes. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of Indian history, colonialism, or royalty, and is a must-have for scholars, researchers, and history enthusiasts.
