EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Camels from Mysore, 1903" by Mortimer L Menpes takes us back to the grandeur of the Imperial Durbar held in Delhi during the peak of British rule. The Durbar, a royal event marking the succession of an Emperor or Empress of India, was celebrated three times - in 1877,1903, and 1911. In this particular image captured by Menpes, we witness a mesmerizing scene filled with vibrant colors and traditional costumes. The photograph showcases men dressed in elaborate attire walking alongside majestic camels under the warm sunlight. The combination of rich hues and intricate details on their garments adds to the allure of this historical moment. As we delve into this snapshot from early 20th century India, it becomes evident that every element has been carefully composed to convey a sense of regality and tradition. Menpes' lens not only captures the beauty of these camels but also provides us with a glimpse into Indian culture during that era. This print serves as a visual testament to both imperialism and heritage as it immortalizes an important chapter in history when King Edward VII ascended to power. Through its vivid portrayal and meticulous attention to detail, "Camels from Mysore" transports us back in time while reminding us of the significant events that shaped nations.
