Hi folks

I wrote a commercial article about the three Imperial Durbah a couple of years ago which was
extensively illustrated with photographs from the OIOC collection. I also have some extracts from
the film of the 1902 (Curzon) and 1911 Durbah (George V) on compilation videos of 20th century
history. There are NO films of the first Imperial Durbah held to mark the proclaimation of Victoria
as Empress of India but there is some film of the Prince of Wales in his visit to India immediately
before the Durbah. However, there are masses of photographs of the three events, the first being
rather old. The Curzon Durbah was also painted - it is huge - and is in a Museum in the UK.

I have sources for all the films and photos.

Rajanawab, contact me directly and I will see what I can do - but be aware that getting copies is
VERY expensive because the film is extremely frail.

Regards

Tony Fuller
