EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of King Edward VII's equestrian statue in Bombay, India during the early 20th century. The imposing monument stands tall as a symbol of British imperialism and the reign of this revered monarch. The vibrant colors bring to life the bustling landscape surrounding the statue, showcasing a snapshot of daily life in Bombay at that time. People from all walks of life can be seen going about their business, creating a vivid tapestry against which this majestic sculpture is set. As one gazes upon this image, it becomes evident that communication played a crucial role during this era. The presence of postal service and postcards highlights how messages were exchanged across vast distances within the British Empire. King Edward VII himself was an influential figure who reigned over both Great Britain and Ireland. His royal lineage is traced back to Prince Albert Edward, also known as Prince of Wales before ascending to become king. This remarkable print not only serves as a visual reminder of India's colonial past but also offers insight into the rich history shared between these two nations. It stands as a testament to power dynamics and cultural exchange during an era when British influence permeated every aspect of Indian society.
