EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print capturing a momentous event in history - the Royal Visit of King George V and Queen Mary to India. Taken by renowned photographer Ernest Brooks, this image transports us to Calcutta in January 1912, where the streets are adorned with excitement and anticipation. In this snapshot from the past, we witness the grandeur and opulence associated with colonialism. The regal couple is elegantly seated in a horse-drawn cart, gracefully gliding through the bustling city streets. Their presence commands attention as they traverse through an adoring crowd, symbolizing both power and authority. This photograph encapsulates not only a significant moment for British royalty but also sheds light on the complex dynamics between empire and colony during that era. It serves as a reminder of India's rich history intertwined with British rule – an epoch marked by ceremonies, coronations, and royal visits that shaped both nations' destinies. As we delve into this visual treasure trove from Memory Lane Prints, let us reflect upon how travel was once synonymous with exploration and discovery for monarchs across continents. This remarkable image invites us to ponder upon our shared heritage while acknowledging its complexities. Join us on this journey back in time as we immerse ourselves in an era when empires reigned supreme – a testament to human ambition, cultural exchange, and historical significance captured forever within
