The Royal Visit to India: Scindia proposing the health of the Prince of Wales at Gwalior...1876. Creator: Unknown
The Royal Visit to India: Scindia proposing the health of the Prince of Wales at Gwalior, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876. The future King Edward VII attends a banquet....the Maharajah Scindia entered and sat beside the Prince, ten of his nobles being ranged beside him. He proposed the health of the Queen, and subsequently that of the Prince, which was drunk in champagne. The Prince, in very warm terms, returned thanks and gave the health of Scindia, whom he should ever remember as a friend. The toast was drunk...amid loud cheers. The great Mahratta chief appeared immensely gratified. Our Illustration of the scene at table shows the Maharajah...the Prince of Wales seated at his left hand and Sir Bartle Frere on his right. Behind Scindia...stands Sir Richard Daly, who interprets to the Prince of Wales the speech of his generous Indian host'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken from a sketch by an unknown artist in 1876, we witness a significant moment during the Royal Visit of the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, to India. The scene unfolds at a grand banquet in Gwalior, where Maharajah Scindia, a prominent Indian ruler, proposes a toast to the health of the Prince. The future King Edward VII, dressed elegantly in formal attire, sits at the center of the table, with Maharajah Scindia on his left. Ten of the Maharajah's nobles are seated beside him, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. Maharajah Scindia, with an expression of warmth and hospitality, proposes the health of Queen Victoria, which is enthusiastically drunk in champagne. Following this, he proposes the health of the Prince of Wales, who returns the gesture with warm thanks and reciprocates the toast, giving a nod to Maharajah Scindia as a friend. Sir Bartle Frere, the British Viceroy of India, stands behind Maharajah Scindia, interpreting the Maharajah's speech to the Prince of Wales. The atmosphere at the table is filled with camaraderie and mutual respect, as the future King and the Indian ruler share a moment of unity and friendship. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of the diplomatic and cultural exchange that took place during the Royal Visit to India in 1876.
