This print captures a significant moment in history - "The Prince in the Land of the Gurkas". Taken on 13th December 1921, it showcases the impending arrival of The Prince of Wales in Nepal, accompanied by the formidable Ghurka tribe. With a dominant presence, these friendly warriors stand as guardians to welcome their distinguished guest. From a bird's eye view, we are presented with an awe-inspiring sight of Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. Its ancient temples and palaces create a mesmerizing backdrop for this historic event. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this image, allowing us to travel back in time and witness this remarkable occasion firsthand. Preserved by Central News, Europeana Photography has brought forth this extraordinary piece that encapsulates cultural exchange between nations. It serves as a testament to diplomatic relations and mutual respect shared between Britain and Nepal during that era. As we admire this photograph today, let us appreciate its historical significance rather than focusing on commercial use. This visual treasure reminds us of our interconnectedness across borders and cultures while honoring the bravery and hospitality exhibited by both the Nepalese people and the Ghurka tribe towards their esteemed visitor from afar - The Prince of Wales.
