King George V and Queen Mary's Historic Visit to Calcutta, India in 1912 This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as King George V and Queen Mary, the regal couple of the British Empire, make their grand entrance into Calcutta, India in 1912. The image, taken by the renowned illustrator, Matania, depicts the King and Queen seated in an open carriage, waving to the cheering crowds that lined the streets. The couple's visit to India was significant as it marked the first time a reigning monarch had set foot on Indian soil since the time of the East India Company. The backdrop of the image is the grandeur of colonial Calcutta, with its imposing colonial architecture and the iconic Howrah Bridge in the distance. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation, as the people of Calcutta eagerly awaited the arrival of their monarchs. The King and Queen's visit was an opportunity for the British to reinforce their colonial rule and to showcase their power and wealth. The Durbar, or royal court, held in Calcutta in honor of the King and Queen, was a grand spectacle of imperial power and pageantry. Thousands of people attended, including Indian princes, British officials, and European settlers. The event was a symbol of the British Raj's dominance over India and its people. This photograph is a testament to a bygone era of colonialism and imperial power. It serves as a reminder of the complex and often contentious relationship between the British Empire and India, a relationship that would shape the course of history for generations to come.
