The New Indian Council Chamber, 1858. Creator: Unknown
The New Indian Council Chamber, 1858. Meeting room in India House, London. View of...the chamber in which the new Council of India now holds its deliberations. On entering this apartment...there is some little evidence of the wealth and splendour of the great association of merchant princes. It is situated on the western side of the main entrance to the building in Leadenhall-street, and is a remarkably handsome and commodious room. It is spacious and lofty, and is lighted by three windows. It is said to form an exact cube of thirty feet. It is splendidly ornamented by gilding and large looking-glasses, and the effect of its too great height is much diminished by the position of the windows near the ceiling...Among the members which the artist has assembled at the Council, those who are acquainted with their persons will readily recognise Sir Frederick Currie, Captain Eastwick, Mr. Prinsep, Sir James Hogg, Sir Henry Rawlinson, Mr. Mills, Mr. Willoughby etc...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

The chamber, situated on the western side of the main entrance to the building in Leadenhall-street, is an impressive and spacious room. Measuring thirty feet in all directions, it is both lofty and light, with three windows illuminating its interior. The room's splendor is further enhanced by gilding and large looking-glasses, although the height of the room is somewhat diminished by the windows' proximity to the ceiling.

Among the distinguished figures depicted are Sir Frederick Currie, Captain Eastwick, Mr. Prinsep, Sir James Hogg, Sir Henry Rawlinson, and Mr. Willoughby.

This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and prestige of the British East India Company during its heyday.
