EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a significant moment in history as Lieutenant Colonel Sir Leslie Wilson, the Governor Designate of Bombay, bids farewell to London. The image captures the essence of anticipation and excitement as Sir Leslie Wilson and Lady Wilson stand at Victoria Station just before their departure for India on 22 November 1923. The photograph exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, with the couple impeccably dressed for their journey. Sir Leslie Wilson's military background is evident in his distinguished uniform, while Lady Wilson radiates grace in her stylish attire. Their poised demeanor reflects the weight of responsibility that awaits them across the seas. As they prepare to embark on this new chapter in their lives, one can only imagine the mix of emotions running through their minds - from nervousness about what lies ahead to a sense of duty towards their new role. This image serves as a poignant reminder of colonial times when British officials were appointed to govern distant lands. Preserved by Central News and now part of Europeana Photography collection, this monochrome snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It encapsulates both personal and historical significance within its frame - symbolizing not only the individual journey undertaken by Sir Leslie Wilson but also representing broader themes surrounding imperialism and governance during the early 20th century.
