The Royal Visit to India: the Phul-Bagh, or Flower-Garden Palace, Gwalior...1876. Creator: W. J. P
The Royal Visit to India: the Phul-Bagh, or Flower-Garden Palace, Gwalior, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876....passing the old fortress or palace of Gwalior, one approaches the Phul-bagh. These are two words, phul, which means flower, and bagh, a garden, making the flower-garden. This is the name of the new palace built by Scindia. It was begun some years ago, but was pressed on to be ready for the Prince of Wales [future King Edward VII], and it is now all but finished. It is to the south of the fort, and our view of it is taken from one of the ruined windows in the old walls. The garden around the old palace is new also, and has artificial water and cascades, bridges and summer-houses, and fancy retreats of all kinds'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'The Royal Visit to India: the Phul-Bagh, or Flower-Garden Palace, Gwalior' by W.J.P, transports us back to 1876 as we witness the magnificent Phul-Bagh, or Flower-Garden Palace, in Gwalior, India. The palace, built by the Maharaja of Scindia, Jayajirao Scindia, is a stunning architectural masterpiece that stands in contrast to the old fortress or palace of Gwalior. The name Phul-Bagh, meaning 'flower-garden,' is a fitting title for this new palace, which is adorned with beautiful gardens and intricate water features. The palace, which was begun several years prior but hastily completed for the Prince of Wales' visit, is located to the south of the fort. The view in this print is taken from one of the ruined windows in the old walls, offering a unique perspective of the palace's grandeur. The garden surrounding the old palace is also new and features artificial water and cascades, bridges, and summer-houses, making it a popular tourist attraction even in the nineteenth century. The Phul-Bagh Palace was a significant architectural feature of the British Empire's influence in India, showcasing the fusion of Indian and European architectural styles. This photograph print, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and beauty of the palace during the royal visit, making it a valuable historical record and an intriguing piece of art.
