EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the State Seat of Tippu Sultan in Government House, taken in 1925. The creator remains unknown, but their talent for capturing intricate details is evident in this image. The photograph showcases a remarkable piece of furniture from the 18th century, highlighting the colonial influence on British India during that time. The seat itself is beautifully carved out of wood, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and decorative elements. Located inside Government House in Calcutta (now Kolkata), this seat symbolizes the power and authority held by Tippu Sultan during his reign. It serves as a reminder of both imperialism and colonialism that shaped India's history. Lord Curzon of Kedleston included this image in his book "British Government in India" published by Cassell and Company Ltd in 1925. Through literature like this, Curzon aimed to document and preserve aspects of British rule over India. As we gaze upon this monochrome photograph today, it offers us a glimpse into an era long gone - an era marked by political dominance and cultural exchange between Britain and India. This print stands as a testament to Tippu Sultan's legacy while inviting us to reflect on the complex historical narratives woven within its frame.
