EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1876, captures a historic moment in the annals of Indian royalty. The image depicts the Guicowar of Baroda, Sayajirao Gaekwad III, extending a warm welcome to the Prince of Wales, who would later become King Edward VII, during his visit to the prince's palace at Vadodara, India. The young Gaekwad, affectionately known as 'the boy-prince,' is shown seated on a richly decorated carpet, surrounded by soft furnishings and attended by servants holding a fly whisk and a fan. The Prince of Wales, dressed in formal attire, stands before him, engaging in conversation. This photograph offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Indian royal court during the 19th century. The intricate carpets, ornate fan, and the elegant attire of the prince and the servant add to the regal ambiance of the scene. The image also highlights the unique cultural exchange that took place between the British and Indian royalties during this period. The photograph, engraved from the original, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the Maharaja of Baroda and the British monarchy.
