EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures one of the most picturesque groups in the Retainers Procession during the Imperial Durbar of 1903. The Delhi Durbar, a grand event held three times at the height of British Empire, marked the succession of an Emperor or Empress of India. In this image by renowned artist Mortimer L Menpes, we are transported to a vibrant scene filled with color and culture. The procession showcases a diverse array of individuals dressed in ceremonial costumes, parading through the streets with regal elegance. A group of men donned in red and gold attire catches our attention as they walk alongside an impressive elephant adorned with intricate decorations. Their presence exudes power and prestige. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery and architectural splendor, this photograph encapsulates both the opulence and imperial influence that characterized British India during this time period. It is a testament to the grandeur and pageantry associated with royal events such as these. Mortimer Menpes masterfully captured every detail, from the vibrant colors to each individual's expression, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we cannot help but be transported back to early 20th century Hindoostan (India), where tradition meets imperialism in all its glory.
