Rajahs introduced to each other while waiting for the Prince of Wales at Calcutta...1876. Creator: William James Palmer

Rajahs introduced to each other while waiting for the Prince of Wales at Calcutta, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876. Royal visit of the future King Edward VII to India. Soon after three the native chiefs and the officials who had been invited to the reception-platform began to arrive. One of the first to come was the Maharajah of Rewah, who was resplendent in a dress of mauve embroidered with gold. Hardly less splendid were Scindia and the Maharajah of Jeypore; while, on the other hand, Holkar and Sir Salar Jung presented a striking contrast from the extreme simplicity of their attire...The native chiefs appeared to mix freely with one another, and to have entirely waived for the occasion the strict formality and ceremony to which Indian Princes usually attach so much importance'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
