A Retainer from Dhar, 1903
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of the Imperial Durbar held in Delhi during the peak of British Empire. This side view portrait showcases an Indian man, adorned in traditional attire and headgear, representing his country at this prestigious event. The retainer's white beard adds wisdom and character to his profile. The image transports us back to early 20th century India, where bare-chested men with colorful turbans were an integral part of royal events like the Delhi Durbar. The print beautifully portrays the cultural richness and diversity of Hindoostan (India) under imperial rule. Photographed by Mortimer L Menpes, renowned for his depictions of exotic locations and people around the world, this print is a testament to his artistic prowess. Published in "The Durbar" a book authored by Dorothy Menpes, it offers a glimpse into one of history's grandest spectacles. This photograph not only commemorates the succession ceremony but also symbolizes British imperialism in India. It serves as a reminder of King Edward VII's reign over Great Britain and Ireland during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece from Madhya Pradesh's heritage collection, let us appreciate its historical significance while acknowledging Mortimer L Menpes' talent for capturing moments frozen in time.
