[Jaswant Singh] Maharajah of Burtpore [Bharatpur, in durbar]. Photographer: Shepherd and Robertson
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Historical Events
The young Maharaja Jaswant Singh seated before a gathering of state officials. Retainers stand in the background. This photograph appears in John Forbes Watson and John Kaye, The People of India (vol 7, London, 1874) and is there dated 1862. The accompanying letterpress describes the scene: 'This photograph is an excellent illustration of a native independent chieftain of the highest class, in his durbar or court. The young prince sits in the centre of his guddee or royal seat, which is of velvet richly embroidered with gold...Behind him are four servants, two of whom, outside, hold merchauls of peacocks' feathers, and the chouree of yak's tail hair; another, possibly the prince's pan and spice box...In two rows on each side of the Rajah, the nobles and sirdars of the state are seated, who may be relatives, or officers in various parts of the state services'. Another copy at Photo 28/2 (16).
