EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lord Cornwallis as Governor General in 1793. The image, taken in 1925 by an unknown creator, is featured in the book "British Government in India, Volume Two" authored by Lord Curzon of Kedleston. Lord Cornwallis, known as the 1st Marquess Cornwallis, was a prominent figure during the British Raj era. In this portrait, Lord Cornwallis exudes authority and confidence with his hand placed firmly on his hip. Dressed impeccably in traditional colonial attire including breeches and a jacket, he epitomizes the elegance of British fashion at that time. The photograph serves as a reminder of Britain's imperialistic presence in India during the early 19th century. It symbolizes the power dynamics between Britain and its colonies while shedding light on the role played by individuals like Lord Cornwallis who governed over vast territories under British rule. Lord Curzon's inclusion of this image within his book suggests its significance to understanding both political history and cultural exchange between Britain and India. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical artifact, emphasizing its timeless quality despite being captured almost a century prior to its publication. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait today, it invites us to reflect upon an era marked by imperialism and trade expansion but also prompts us to appreciate the artistry behind preserving such valuable pieces of our shared heritage.
