The Future King Edward VII Investing Princes with the Star of India, at Calcutta, 1876
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event in history as the future King Edward VII invests princes with the prestigious Star of India. Taken in Calcutta in 1876, this color lithograph by William Barnes Wollen beautifully depicts an important ceremony that symbolizes the power and influence of the British Empire. The image was originally created for The Sphere's Coronation Number in June 1902 to commemorate King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra's coronation. Due to the king's illness, their crowning had been postponed from its original date on June 26th. Finally taking place on August 9th at Westminster Abbey, this grand occasion marked a significant milestone for Britain and its imperial reign. In this scene, we witness King Edward VII bestowing honor upon Indian princes as he adorns them with the Star of India. The regal setting of Calcutta adds to the splendor and richness of this historical moment. It serves as a reminder not only of Britain's dominion over India but also highlights the cultural exchange between these two nations during that time. With intricate details and vibrant colors, this print transports us back to an era when royalty held immense power and commanded respect across continents. It is a testament to both British imperialism and Indian heritage coming together under one magnificent event. This photograph encapsulates not just a single act but represents an entire chapter in history - one where tradition meets modernity amidst political alliances within Europe and beyond.
