EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a momentous occasion in British royal history - the visit of Queen-Empress Mary of Teck to India in 1911. As the consort of King George V, Mary made history as the first reigning British monarch to set foot on Indian soil in over three centuries.
In this image, Queen Mary is superimposed against the majestic backdrop of the iconic Taj Mahal, a symbol of love and beauty. The composite nature of the photograph adds an air of grandeur and regality to her presence, highlighting her status as both queen and empress.
Six months after her coronation, Queen Mary embarked on a five-week royal tour with King George V, proclaiming their reign over the vast British dominions. This visit was not only a display of imperial power but also a gesture towards fostering stronger ties between Britain and its colonies.
The image serves as a visual reminder of Queen Mary's role as both a symbol of royalty and an ambassador for the British Empire. Her dignified posture and elegant attire reflect her grace and poise, embodying the ideals of monarchy during that era.
Overall, this print encapsulates a significant moment in history when East met West, showcasing the splendor and magnificence of Queen-Empress Mary's visit to India in 1911.
