EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in history as Sir Pherozeshah Mehta, President of the Bombay Municipality, reads the address of welcome to King George V and Queen Mary during their visit to India in 1911. The occasion was the Delhi Durbar, a grand event held to celebrate the coronation of King George V as Emperor of India. In this image, Sir Pherozeshah Mehta stands tall at an amphitheater-like setting, surrounded by fellow Indians who eagerly await the arrival of their royal guests. Dressed in traditional attire, he exudes dignity and pride as he addresses the monarchs on behalf of his city. This photograph not only showcases an important historical event but also symbolizes the complex dynamics between colonial rulers and their subjects. It reflects both pageantry and power struggles within British India's political landscape. The presence of sea in the background reminds us that this ceremony took place on Indian soil but was deeply influenced by Britain's imperial control over its colonies. The image serves as a reminder of how colonialism shaped Indian society during that era. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment when tradition met modernity, showcasing both Indian culture and British monarchy against the backdrop of early 20th-century Mumbai.
