EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of a sowari, a military procession, in Baroda (or Vadodara), Gujarat, India. Taken in the 19th century by an unknown artist and published in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton, this engraving showcases the voyage of the Rajahs through India from 1864 to 1868. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the royal banner fluttering proudly amidst a sea of soldiers and musicians. The vibrant colors and intricate design of the flag symbolize power and authority. As it leads the procession, it commands attention and reverence from all who witness its presence. In addition to showcasing military might, this sowari also highlights cultural elements unique to India. Musicians can be seen playing traditional instruments as they march alongside cavalry troops. Their melodic tunes add rhythm to the parade while celebrating Indian music heritage. An unmistakable feature that adds an exotic touch to this scene is none other than majestic elephants gracefully parading through Baroda's streets. These gentle giants are adorned with ornate decorations that reflect their status as symbols of strength and prosperity. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into a bygone era when royalty reigned supreme in India. It encapsulates both regal splendor and cultural richness, making it a valuable piece for any art enthusiast or history lover seeking to explore India's past glory.
