EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1935 commemorates the Silver Jubilee of King George V, showcasing a Standard car that was once used by the royal couple during their visit to Delhi in 1911. The image highlights the grandeur and elegance of this vintage vehicle, which played a significant role in transporting the King and Queen Mary during their attendance at the great Durbar. The illustration captures not only the beauty of the car itself but also provides a glimpse into fashion trends of that era. Both men and women can be seen dressed impeccably, wearing hats and stylish attire that reflects the fashion sensibilities of early 20th-century Britain. This historic moment is an important reminder of India's connection to British royalty and its place within the British Empire. It symbolizes a meeting point between two cultures as well as an event where industry and transportation intersected with monarchy. As we observe this photograph, it transports us back in time to witness this remarkable occasion when monarchs traveled across continents in style. The print serves as a testament to both technological advancements in road transport and societal norms surrounding dress codes for such prestigious events. Overall, this print captures not just a standard car but also represents an extraordinary moment in history when tradition met modernity on Indian soil.
