First and only edition of this scarce pictorial record, the handsomely produced official history of the spectacular "Proclamation Durbar" - stage-managed by the viceroy, Lord Lytton - that announced the queen as "Victoria regina et imperatrix" ("Victoria, queen and empress"). It was Lytton who chose Delhi as the site of the durb…ar, the city "still battle-scarred from the rebellion almost twenty years previously", and he was particularly keen to secure the attendance of Muslim princes, such as the Nizam of Hyderabad, "whose failure to meet with the Prince of Wales at Bombay in 1875 still prickled" (Taylor). Lytton then devoted much time "designing the symbolic and decorative aspects of the durbar", commissioning John Lockwood Kipling, Rudyard's father, to assist with design. But the viceroy was, above all, at pains over "measures to rope the princes and chiefs into the new imperial order. In some ways, it was business as usual Inducements were offered to minor princes that the Government of India would pay the costs of travel, and special arrangements were made in Delhi to house the entourages Tens of thousands of people made their way to Delhi. The Gaekwar of Baroda, for example, sent on ahead an entourage of 520 men, 114 horses, 24 bullocks, 21 camels and 10 elephants" (Miller). Although the durbar drew on a Mughal tradition of pageant, Lytton "refused to use any Indian decorations or images [and] did not include the Indian princes in the state entry procession throughDelhi, in which they would participate in 1903 and 1911 As Lytton entered the arena, six trumpeters in medieval costume played a fanfare from Wagner'sTannhäuser. The trope of medievalIndiaexpressed supposed Indian backwardness and British paternalism, but the Middle Ages also symbolized utopia to Victorian medievalists like Lytton, who fantasized a benign, harmonious and idyllic medieval feudal hierarchy" (Codell). The bureaucrat-historian James Talboys Wheeler had sailed for India in 1858 as editor of the Madras Spectator but gave this up on being appointed professor of moral and mental philosophy in the Madras Presidency College. In 1862, he was appointed assistant secretary to thegovernment of Indiain theforeign department. After a lengthy leave of absence (1873-76), he returned to India in time for the durbar. The fine views and portraits, some of which were specially shot for the book, are the work of Bourne and Shepherd, the most prestigious photographic studio on the subcontinent. Other plates include a chromolithograph of the specially struck commemorative medal and a tinted lithograph of the banner presented by the queen to Lytton and the "ruling chiefs", exemplifying the meeting of Victorian medievalism and an imagined "oriental" heraldry. Julie Codell, "On the Delhi Coronation Durbars, 1877, 1903, 1911", BRANCH: Britain, Representation, and Nineteenth-Century History, 2012; Miles Taylor, Empress: Queen Victoria and India, 2018.
