The Royal Visit to India: Grand Review at Delhi - the Gallop Past...1876. Creator: C.R
The Royal Visit to India: Grand Review at Delhi - the Gallop Past, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876. The spectacle of the day...was the gallop past of the thirteen cavalry regiments...They lack only an infusion of heavy cavalry to make this spectacle sublime...it was magnificent and soul-stirring...horsemen swept swiftly yet orderly athwart the front - wave after wave edged with steel for foam, for spray the hot impatient snortings of the war-horses. Long ere the last billow had surged past, with a beautifully graceful cadence, yet with a resistless sweep and strength...My eyes were full, and my heart was swelling; for there were days when the sabre of a dragoon was more familiar to my hand than the pen of a correspondent, and it is not given to a man who loves soldiering to deaden to the thrill that stirs the blood when trumpets are sounding, and horses gallopping, and swords flashing'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Royal Visit to India: Grand Review at Delhi - the Gallop Past, 1876" is a captivating photographic print that transports us back in time to witness an extraordinary military spectacle. This image, created by the skilled hand of an unnamed special artist from the "Illustrated London News," immortalizes the grandeur and majesty of the gallop past of thirteen cavalry regiments during the British monarch's visit to India. The scene unfolds at Delhi, the historic capital city of India, where the British East India Company held sway. The photograph captures the breathtaking moment when the horsemen sweep past the reviewing stand with an orderly yet powerful cadence. The horses, their manes and tails streaming in the wind, seem to surge like waves, their hooves thundering on the ground. The steel flashes of their sabres add to the scene's sublime beauty, creating a thrilling tableau of power and grace. The artist's description, published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1876, vividly conveys the awe-inspiring experience of the gallop past. He notes that the sight was "magnificent and soul-stirring," and that the horsemen's swift yet orderly advance left him filled with emotion. For this artist, who once wielded a sabre in the ranks of a dragoon regiment, the thrill of the trumpets sounding and the horses galloping was a familiar and potent reminder of his soldiering past. This photographic print, with its evocative description, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of a bygone era, allowing us to appreciate the splendor and majesty of the military spectacle that unfolded during the Royal Visit to India in 1876.
