Late Afternoon, 1903 - A Glimpse into the Imperial Durbar
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the Imperial Durbar of 1903. Held in Delhi, India, this grand event marked the succession of an Emperor or Empress of India during the height of British imperialism. The artist behind this masterpiece is Mortimer L Menpes. In this particular scene, we see a standing female figure amidst a gathering of people dressed in vibrant traditional Indian attire. The woman's direct gaze and regal presence suggest her importance within this historical meeting. Her elegant sari drapes gracefully around her as she stands barefoot on the shaded ground. The photograph beautifully encapsulates early 20th-century fashion and cultural customs prevalent during that time period. It offers us a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Indian traditions and highlights the influence of British rule on clothing styles. Mortimer Menpes skillfully captures not only individual portraits but also conveys a sense of grandeur surrounding King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, who were present at this momentous occasion. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation, transporting viewers back to an era when Britain held sway over Hindoostan (British India). Through its intricate details and vivid colors, "Late Afternoon, 1903" invites us to reflect upon the complex dynamics between nations during imperial times while celebrating the beauty found within diverse cultures.
