EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Royal Visit to India: the Prince of Wales and the Governor of Goa," depicts a significant moment during the Prince of Wales's tour of India in 1875. The future King Edward VII is seen here in the company of João Tavares de Almeida, the Governor of Goa, as they make their way to the cathedral at Old Goa. The Prince is dressed in undress Field Marshal's uniform, while the Governor is attired in traditional Indian clothing. The image captures the Prince's grand entrance, with a native band in full regalia greeting him. The bandmaster plays both a trumpet and a big drum in unison, adding to the festive atmosphere. Accompanying the Prince on his right are one of his equerries, while the Governor's aide-de-camp walks on his left. The Prince's visit to India, which took place between October 1875 and May 1876, was an extensive one, covering more than 21 towns and cities across modern-day India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Nepal. The tour was an opportunity for the Prince to strengthen diplomatic relations and showcase British power and influence in the region. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the grandeur and pomp of a Royal Visit to India during the British colonial era. This image was published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1876 and was created by L.B, an officer of the Serapis. It is a testament to the rich cultural exchanges that took place during the colonial era and the enduring legacy of British-Indian history.
