EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the early 20th century at St James Palace in London. The image captures a momentous royal event known as "The Kings Levee" held on June 4,1923. Standing prominently on the left side of the frame is HH the Rajah of Poonch, an esteemed Indian prince adorned in traditional attire. The photograph exudes an air of grandeur and cultural diversity as it showcases individuals from different backgrounds coming together for this prestigious occasion. Turbans can be seen adorning many heads, symbolizing their rich heritage and regal status. Feathers elegantly embellish some attendees' headpieces, adding a touch of opulence to their outfits. Amidst the sea of distinguished guests, a vigilant policeman stands watchfully nearby, ensuring order and security during this significant gathering. This juxtaposition between royalty and law enforcement further emphasizes the importance placed upon such events. This remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when European capitals welcomed Indian princes with open arms. It serves as a testament to both historical connections between nations and the enduring allure of royal traditions. Preserved by Central News, this monochrome masterpiece has become part of Europeana Photography's collection—a visual treasure that allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its invaluable historical significance.
