This was the last Europe tour of Rabindranatjh Tagore in the year 1930.At the beginning of March, 1930, Rabindranath started for Europe with his full family, Rathindranath, Pratima, and their adopted daughter Nandini. He also took Aryum as his secretary. Rathindranath became ill suddenly and lastly Dr. Sudhir Roychoudhury was to accompany them. The poet started for England with the huge accompaniment.
In 1928, due to illness Rabindranath could not attend The series of Hibert Lecture in Oxford.
There was another reason for this tour other than the Hibert Lecture. The poet wanted to arrange a picture exhibition drawn by him. For the last few years the poet had drawn a good number of pictures without following a definite rule of drawing figures. Those pictures were drawn in a new style and technique which was his own and original. It bore some similarity with the ultramodern style of some artists of Europe.
