Event Details : The Alkazi Foundation for the Arts in association with the India International Centre presents, Framing a Capital: Impressions of Delhi’s Past, 1860-1920.
As part of the Opening of IIC Jubilee Arts Festival, the exhibition, showcases rare 19th and early 20th Century reprints, as well as printed publications and early postcards.
Following the recapture of the city by the British in 1858, some of the most important photographers settled in Delhi, establishing studios in and around the city, as it transformed from being a buffer state into the capital of the Raj, seen not only in the changing urbanism, infrastructure, railways but also grand theatrical productions such as the Coronation durbars. A visual compendium of images in albums, publications, news journals and even printed postcards was created by studios such as Herzog and Higgins, Johnston and Hoffmann, Raja Deen Dayal and Sons, Vernon and Co., Simla Studio, Mirza and Sons among innumerable others. By the early 20th century views of the city started including distinctly urban spaces such as streets and candid moments in crowds that catered to a growing market as well as a local demand for images of inhabited space. With the passage of time, the same images present new perspectives, offering insights on art practice, portraiture and the politics of vision at play with the rise of a modern medium.
