This book is a reprint of "Coronation Durbar Delhi Illustrated 1903", that was published originally in 1903 using photographs taken by Wiele and Klein. This consisted of over 100 photos and notes, recording scenes from this event that lasted for nearly 2 weeks to celebrate the coronation of King Edward VII.
These included the State Entry through Delhi on hundreds of elephants, to sporting competitions, art exhibitions, firework displays, encampments, military reviews and the "Retainers Review" when states displayed examples "heritage" costumes and military prowess.
The idea of reprinting this book is an extremely good one as it is now very difficult to obtain originals.
However the opportunity has been seriously undermined because of the size chosen to reproduce the photos. These are, in the main 3.3/4" x 2.3/4" (95mm x 65mm) so that the incredible detail shown in the originals is now too small to appreciate.

In spite of the caveats concerning laser reproduction of early books I do wish that more care had been taken in this "production", whereby the guesswork involved in completing the truncated text to the right of each page becomes tiresome, although I fully admit that this brief account is mostly photographic in its content (with some missing descriptions below those who are depicted).

Nevertheless, as this is the only contemporary account that I can find of the 1903 Durbar for Edward VII, I must concede that it serves as a reasonable, but slight, mainly pictorial narrative of the celebratory events between 1st and 10th January of that year. In truth, there had never been seen such lavish displays of ceremony in India for centuries until this event, hosted by the Viceroy and Vicereine, Lord and Lady Curzon, in the absence of the King-Emperor himself.
