In this photo print, we are transported back to the elegant atmosphere of a distinguished gathering in honor of the new High Commissioner for India. The scene unfolds at the prestigious Hotel Victoria, where the Royal Colonial Institute hosted a lavish luncheon to celebrate Sir Atul Chandra Chatterjee's appointment. The image captures three prominent figures seated at an exquisitely adorned table. From left to right, we see Viscount Willingdon, emanating an air of regality; Sir Atul Chandra Chatterjee himself, radiating confidence and grace; and Sir Arthur Hirtzel, the esteemed Permanent Under Secretary of State for India. This snapshot freezes a moment in time on January 26th, 1925 - an era characterized by its sophistication and grandeur. The guests surrounding them are undoubtedly diplomats and dignitaries from various corners of the world. Their presence adds to the aura of importance that permeates this gathering. As we delve into this photograph's monochrome depths, it becomes clear that it represents more than just a social event. It symbolizes diplomatic ties between nations during a pivotal period in history when India was asserting its place on the global stage. Preserved by Central News as part of Europeana Photography collection, this remarkable image serves as both a window into our past and a testament to enduring international relations.
