Photograph of a triumphal arch at the railway station in Lahore. The archway has a large arch at the centre with a smaller arch to either side. 'WELCOME TO LAHORE' is inscribed across the central arch and there are several flags on top of each arch. People are gathered around it and the city can be seen behind, including a large circular tower.
 
This is one of a series of photographs from a published volume documenting the tour the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, made of India in 1875-76. The Prince was greeted with great ceremony when he arrived in each new city.
