EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in the annals of British colonial history: the Coronation Durbar of King George V and Queen Mary in Delhi, India, on 12 December 1911. The Durbar was a grand ceremonial event, marking the new monarchs' proclamation as Emperor and Empress of India. In this image, we see the King and Queen seated on their thrones, receiving homage from a chief ruler of Burma, who makes his obeisance in a traditional gesture of submission. The Durbar was a symbol of the British Raj's power and authority over its Indian colonies, and was attended by thousands of dignitaries, military personnel, and commoners. The grandeur of the occasion is evident in the ornate decorations, elaborate costumes, and the vast crowd gathered to witness the event. The Coronation Durbar in Delhi was a significant historical moment, marking the beginning of a new era in the British Empire's colonial rule in India.
