EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a memorable moment from the historic visit of the Prince of Wales, Edward VII, to India in 1876. The Prince, who would later ascend to the British throne in 1901, is seen here in the princely state of Poonah (now Pune), in the western Indian province of Maharashtra. The image, taken during the 1870s, showcases the Prince in the company of a magnificent peacock, the national bird of India. The regal bird, known for its iridescent plumage and distinctive call, is a symbol of beauty, pride, and prosperity in Indian culture. The Prince's visit to India was significant as it marked the first time a British monarch had traveled to the subcontinent since the establishment of the British East India Company's rule in the late 17th century. The tour aimed to strengthen the British-Indian relationship and to showcase the might and influence of the British Empire. The photograph, taken in the sepia tone typical of the era, further adds to the nostalgic and exotic atmosphere of the scene. The Prince, dressed in formal attire, is shown standing in a lush, green garden, surrounded by Indian attendants and servants. The presence of the peacock, with its vibrant colors and graceful pose, adds a touch of elegance and allure to the image. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural exchange that took place between India and the British during the colonial era. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination that the exotic and mysterious lands of India held for the Western world, and continues to hold to this day.
