For King Edward VII’s Coronation Durbar in 1902, the Viceroy Lord Curzon and his wife led the procession on the same silver howdah in which the new King- Emperor had ridden during his visit to India in 1875–6. For this print, the figures of Lord and Lady Curzon have been montaged onto a separate photograph of the State Elephant, Lutchman Pershad.
