1. Title: "A Peek into New Court: Sanchi Tope and Exhibits in Late 19th Century London (circa 1895)" New Court, a historic building in London, is captured in this stunning black-and-white lantern slide. The image invites us to step back in time and explore the interior of this fascinating establishment. At the heart of the scene, the Sanchi Tope takes center stage, an intriguing exhibit that adds to the allure of this mysterious place. The New Court, located in the Strand area of London, was a popular attraction during the late 19th century. It was known for its diverse collection of curiosities, artifacts, and relics from around the world. The Sanchi Tope, a large, ornate elephant-backed howdah, was one of its most prized possessions. This howdah, or canopy seat, was used by Indian royalty for hunting and processions. Surrounding the Sanchi Tope, other exhibits can be seen in the dimly lit interior. The atmosphere is one of wonder and intrigue, as visitors would have marveled at these exotic treasures from far-off lands. The lantern slide, part of the extensive Boswell collection, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and cultural significance of New Court during the 1890s. This image invites us to ponder the stories and experiences of those who visited New Court long ago. It serves as a reminder of the curiosity and fascination that has driven humans to explore the world and discover its wonders. The New Court, with its Sanchi Tope and other exhibits, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the human desire to learn and understand the world around us.
