King George Park, [Lashkar]. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
Distant view from the fort? Letterpress description reads: 'The accompanying photograph presents a bird's eye view of King George Park, a well laid out garden in a portion of the Phool-bag grounds, set apart for the use of the public and opened by His Majesty the King Emperor Edward VIII when he visited Gwalior in 1922 in his capacity as Prince of Wales. In the Park are the Zoo, the State Museum, the Ladies' Club and a marble statue of the Maharaja's grand-mother, set in a marble canopy amidst attractive surroundings. But the special feature of the Park is that it includes within its premises a Hindu temple, a Muhammadan Mosque, a Sikh Gurudwara and a Theosophical Lodge all built and maintained chifly[sic] at State cost. Here is an example of the catholicity of a Hindu Prince, a lesson for all governing powers'.
