EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Of the Imperial Cadet Corps, 1903" captures a momentous event in British India's history. Taken by renowned artist Mortimer L Menpes as part of his series "The Durbar" this image showcases the grandeur and splendor of the Delhi Durbar. In this side view portrait, we see a proud Indian man dressed in an elaborate ceremonial costume atop a majestic horse. His attire is resplendent with gold accents and vibrant colors, including a magnificent turban adorning his head. The intricate headdress signifies his affiliation with the Imperial Cadet Corps during this royal event. Surrounded by fellow cadets on horseback and other animals, such as horses elegantly adorned for the occasion, this gathering represents a significant meeting of individuals from different backgrounds coming together to celebrate their shared connection to British imperialism. The photograph transports us back to early 20th century India when traditions merged with colonial influences. It serves as a testament to both the opulence of these events and the cultural exchange between Britain and India during that era. Preserved by The Print Collector29, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in Indian history while highlighting Mortimer Menpes' artistic prowess in capturing moments that transcend time.
