-
The Inner (Durbar) Court of the India Office, King Charles Street, London, decorated for a reception on 4 July 1902.
Water-colour; 381 by 251 ins.
circumstances of acquisition unrecorded.
Note: The drawing appears to illustrate a scheme of decoration by the Ministry of Works for a reception held at the India Office in honour of the coronation of Edward VII. It shows the court decorated with a crimson carpet, candelabra, palms in pots and flowers on the balconies. At the top a sheet of paper showing a night sky has been hinged above a crimson and white striped canopy suggesting that there was some doubt whether the court should be left open or closed. The coronation of Edward VII was originally fixed for 26 June 1902 but owing to the King's illness was postponed until 9 August 1902.
