    Unknown Marlborough Delhi Durbar

    Bill Pitt attended the London Toy Show in December 2000 and photographed the Marlborough Trade Stand. One of the photos shows this unknown group of soldiers - cant find them in the Marlborough catalogue. He thinks they may have been based on the soldiers of Sumptha Raja who attended the 1876...

    Delhi Durbar 1903 diorama

    Wow. What a fantastic collection to have! Must have cost a fortune with all the shipping as well. I recall seeing the lump of bamboo in the catalogue of Marlborough I have and thinking how odd. You'd never find it if it didnt come with its box because no dealer would know what it was of. Let me...

    Delhi Durbar 1903 diorama

    Thankyou!! Yes buildings built from polystyrene packing. Yes the man climbing is from Errol John Studios. I'm trying now to create a village scene away from the military durbar procession. I obtained some Marlborough facades, paid far too much for them when I could have got them, as I've now...

    Marlborough Delhi Durbar Indian Courtyard

    I have a couple of Marlborough facades with JGM in ink on the back. I think this stood for John Gittens Marlborough.

    Marlborough Delhi Durbar Indian Courtyard

    Fascinating - so pleased you posted. Very interesting. My courtyard is possibly a bazaar as there are rolls of cloth against the back wall so I shall people it with traders and buyers.
