EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majesty and grandeur of The Maharajah of Jodhpur, G.C.S.I., a Rajpoot chief of esteemed rank in 19th century India. His territory, Marwar, was located in Western India, north of Oudeypore and Baroda, and bordered the regions of Cutch and Scinde. The Maharajah's domain extended approximately 330 miles by 150, with a population below two million. The Maharajah's lineage was renowned for its illustrious Hindu ancestry, yet his power was limited, as he was tributary to the British Government, much like his predecessors had been to the Mahratta rulers of Western India and previously to the Mogul. In this image, The Maharajah of Jodhpur is depicted wearing a spreading petticoat of pink satin, a jacket with open sleeves, and a tall plumed cap. The Maharajah's traditional attire was a testament to his rich heritage and the opulence of his kingdom. This photograph was published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1876, providing a glimpse into the fashion and customs of the time. The Maharajah's full-length portrait, with its intricate details and textures, is a remarkable piece of historical art that showcases the unique blend of Indian and British influences during the colonial era. The Maharajah's regal appearance, with his turban and traditional clothing, stands out against the stark white background, making this an unusual and captivating image. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art, textiles, or fashion, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of 19th century India.
