King George V and Queen Mary at the Delhi Durbar, The Tatler Magazine, 1937 - Design
This striking design captures a moment of imperial grandeur, as envisioned by Fortunino Matania and reproduced in The Tatler magazine in 1937. It presents a vibrant illustration of King George V and Queen Mary at the Delhi Durbar, an event of immense historical and symbolic significance.
Visual Representation
The artwork vividly depicts the royal couple in their imperial regalia. King George V is likely adorned in the Imperial Crown of India, a symbol of his role as Emperor, while Queen Mary would be wearing the Delhi Durbar tiara. The overall design is undoubtedly a colorful and ceremonial image, a stylized representation rather than a photographic likeness.
Meaning and Symbolism
The illustration encapsulates the pomp and circumstance of the Delhi Durbar of 1911, a major imperial assemblage held to proclaim King George V and Queen Mary as Emperor and Empress of India. The Durbar itself was a deliberate display of British power and influence in India, reinforcing imperial authority and honoring Indian dignitaries. The image therefore symbolizes the British Empire at its zenith, the grandeur of its ceremonial life, and the royal figures at the heart of the imperial system.
The choice to feature this historical scene in The Tatler in 1937, in the wake of King George VI's coronation, further adds to the symbolism, providing a connection to the royal lineage and the ongoing tradition of imperial pageantry.
