This detailed narrative of the 1911 royal tour of India was written by The Hon. John Fortescue, a British military historian and the Royal Librarian at Windsor Castle. Like the Padshahnama, and other Mughal history texts, it describes all the daily public activities of the King-Emperor. This is King George V’s copy.
Following the Durbar, the King and Queen left for ten days in Nepal, where the King was taken tiger hunting. After visiting Calcutta, they journeyed across India by train to Bombay, which they left on 10 January on RMS Medina.
Description. The Queen and Prince Philip walk beneath the Gateway of India, Bombay, on their way to the Atomic Energy Establishment at Trombay. A monumental arch stands above them with carpeted steps in the foreground.
