EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the image of a Rajput Chief in his ordinary attire, taken in Delhi during the late 1890s. The Rajputs were a prominent warrior caste in Northern India, renowned for their valour and chivalry. This bearded man, with a wise and thoughtful expression, wears a head wrap and a heavily decorated garment adorned with intricate designs, including a prominent horseshoe motif. The fabric of his garment is richly embellished, and his collar, which appears to be jewelled, adds to the grandeur of his attire. The photograph, part of the Boswell collection, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Rajput rulers during the late 19th century. The lantern slide, with its intricate details, offers a glimpse into the history and culture of India during this period, providing a valuable record of a bygone era.
