EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and vibrant lithograph that transports us back to the early 20th century in British India. This exquisite print, created by Mortimer Ludington Menpes, showcases the grandeur of an event known as The Durbar, held in 1903 to commemorate Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark's ascension as Emperor and Empress of India. In this artwork, we are introduced to a magnificent horse gracefully displaying its talents amidst a lively crowd. The horse's sleek physique and powerful presence captivate our attention while reflecting the rich equestrian culture prevalent in Indian society during that era. As we delve deeper into this image, we witness not only the beauty of this performing horse but also catch glimpses of other animals present at the Durbar. Ponies, racehorses, shire horses, stallions - all coexist harmoniously within this bustling scene. Their collective energy adds an element of liveliness to an already mesmerizing spectacle. Menpes' skillful use of color brings life to every detail captured on paper. From the vivid hues adorning traditional Indian attire worn by spectators to meticulously rendered wildlife animals surrounding them; each stroke evokes a sense of vibrancy and celebration. This remarkable lithograph serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a historical artifact documenting an important moment in time. It encapsulates not only the splendorous nature of Indian culture but also highlights their deep connection with animals – be it farm livestock
