A detailed record of the celebrations in Delhi for the coronation (in absentia) of Edward VII as King Emperor, with the many ceremonial oufits beautifully illustrated.
The first Durbar was held in 1877 to proclaim Queen Victoria as Empress of India. This is the second Durbar to proclaim Edward VII as king, in 1902 but was not attended by the King either.
