EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of the British Raj in India. Captured around 1925, it showcases the majestic Rajah of Indore's Palace nestled in Benares, now known as Varanasi. The palace stands proudly against a backdrop of the ghats lining the sacred River Ganges. The architectural grandeur of this building is truly awe-inspiring, reflecting both Indian and British influences. Its intricate details and imposing structure symbolize the opulence and power associated with royalty during that time. This image was immortalized on a collectible cigarette card produced by Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd as part of their Indian Empire series. Varanasi, located in Uttar Pradesh, has always been regarded as one of India's holiest cities due to its association with spirituality and ancient traditions. The riverfront ghats depicted here are an integral part of daily life for locals and pilgrims alike, serving as bathing spots for religious rituals or simply places for contemplation. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece captured by an unknown creator, we are transported back to a time when Hindoostan (India) was under British rule - a period marked by cultural fusion and imperial dominance. This print serves as a reminder not only of historical significance but also highlights the enduring beauty that lies within these timeless structures along the banks of the revered River Ganges.
