Ruling Princes of India with Viceroy at Delhi, January 1919
Here we see an assembly of the ruling princes and chiefs of India at Delph in January 1919, with Lord Chelmsford, the Viceroy of India, in the centre of the front row. This meeting was held at a time when the system of British rule in India was about to change, with the Government of India act of 1919 seeing the first official British acknowledgement that the aim was to move towards self rule in India. Although the rulers seen here held a great deal of power in India, they were rapidly being replaced by a new class of Indian political leaders
