The Royal Visit to India: the Prince of Wales mounting his elephant...1876. Creator: C.R
The Royal Visit to India: the Prince of Wales mounting his elephant at the Old Palace of Lushkur, Gwalior, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876. Upon his arrival at Gwalior...the Prince drove in his carriage, accompanied by a guard of the 10th Hussars, to the old palace at Lushkur, and there mounted a very richly-decorated elephant. The Maharajah Scindia followed, and mounted the same animal, sitting on the Prince's left; General Sir Richard Daly, Political Agent for Central India, took the seat behind, so as to be able to interpret between the Royal personages. The howdah was gilt, and covered with arabesque ornament. Colonel Hutchison, Political Agent for Gwalior, and Major Bannerman, of the political department, were also in attendance. Scindia, who, in our Artist's sketch, stands with his back to the looker on, wore the sash of the Star of India'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
