The Governor General and Body Guard Outside Government House, 1820
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of British colonial rule in India during the early 19th century. The image showcases Lord Curzon of Kedleston, the Governor General of India at that time, accompanied by his loyal bodyguard outside the magnificent Government House in Calcutta. The architectural grandeur of the building stands tall against a backdrop of natural rock formations, symbolizing the dominance and authority of British imperialism. The monochrome tones add a sense of nostalgia to this historic moment frozen in time. Lord Curzon's presence exudes power and prestige as he gazes into the distance with an air of confidence. His bodyguard stands dutifully by his side, ready to protect him from any potential threats. This photograph offers a glimpse into their daily lives as they navigate through their occupation within the British Raj. The image not only serves as a visual documentation but also provides valuable insights into the political landscape and social dynamics during this era. It is an important piece within "British Government in India". Volume One written by Lord Curzon himself. This print transports us back to a significant period in history when colonialism was at its peak, leaving behind traces that continue to shape our world today.
