EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in history as Queen Victoria is proclaimed "Empress of India" at Delhi. The image, created by William Henry Margetson and based on an engraving from the late 19th century, showcases the grandeur and power of the British Empire during its peak. The scene depicts Queen Victoria surrounded by dignitaries and officials, adorned in regal attire befitting her new title. Her presence exudes authority and prestige as she accepts this proclamation that solidifies Britain's imperial dominance over India. The print serves as a visual representation of imperialism and colonialism, showcasing the expansionist ambitions of Great Britain during the 19th century. It symbolizes both the might of the British Empire and its impact on nations across Europe. This artwork was originally featured in Edgar Sanderson's book "The British Empire in the Nineteenth Century" published by Blackie in 1898. Its inclusion in this publication highlights its historical significance as a testament to Queen Victoria's reign and Britain's global influence at that time. As we reflect upon this image today, it offers us a glimpse into an era defined by exploration, conquests, cultural exchange, but also exploitation. It reminds us of how empires shape history while raising questions about their lasting legacy. Through this lithograph from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to a pivotal moment when one woman became not only queen but also Empress - forever altering the course of history for both
