India in 1875-76: The visit of the prince of Wales

George Wheeler (1846–1902) documented the visit of the Prince of Wales, likely referring to the future King Edward VII, during one of his official tours. Wheeler’s account provides valuable insights into the ceremonial grandeur, public reception, and political significance of the visit. His narrative reflects the colonial and cultural context of the era, capturing both the enthusiasm of the local populace and the diplomatic undertones of royal engagements during the British Empire’s height in the 19th century.
