EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history as it showcases "The Duke and Duchess of Connaught at Bombay". The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, depicts the royal couple during their visit to India. Intriguingly, this illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on December 22,1883. It portrays a scene where the Duke and Duchess are seen disembarking from a steam launch named Bee onto the bustling landing place of Bombay. The city's vibrant atmosphere is evident with its crowded streets and numerous ships dotting the sea. The occasion for their visit seems to be marked by an event related to healthcare infrastructure as they are shown laying the foundation stone for Cama Obstetric Hospital. This act demonstrates their commitment to improving medical facilities in India. Surrounded by military personnel and local dignitaries under a grand shamiana (a decorative tent), the Duke and Duchess exude regal elegance amidst Indian culture. Their presence symbolizes nobility and signifies strong ties between Britain and India during that era. This print not only provides us with a glimpse into historical events but also offers insights into sea travel, Asian architecture, Indian customs, and daily life in Bombay (now Mumbai). It serves as a valuable visual record of an important moment shared between two nations.
