Ambition Bombay Child Hood Curzon D Ream Departure Leaving Manhood Shown Fulfilled

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment of Lord Curzon's departure from Bombay Harbour on 18th November 1911. Lord Curzon, who described India as the "dream of my childhood, the fulfilled ambition of my manhood," is shown aboard the SS Persia, waving goodbye to the Indian shores he had come to love and govern as the Viceroy from 1899 to 1905. The date on the image is incorrectly listed as 4th November 1911, but the historical accuracy of the image is not in question. The image is a poignant reminder of Lord Curzon's deep connection to India and the profound impact he had on its history. The photograph, taken from a distance, captures the grandeur of the scene, with the SS Persia dwarfing the other boats in the harbour and the British flag flying proudly at half-mast. Lord Curzon's departure marked the end of an era, and this image serves as a powerful reminder of the complex and enduring relationship between Britain and India.
