  A private view of princely India told through 100 compelling portraits
History has remembered India’s ruling princes, Maharajas and Nawabs for their flamboyant lifestyles,
their patronage of building projects and works of art, their jewellery, cars and carriages and especially
their socio-political position as father and mother of their people. Behind the legendary stories of
kingship and the colourful ambience are the rich and diverse personalities of the princes themselves,
alive at a time when India’s elite adopted a western lifestyle and trappings of power, balancing tradition
and modernity in the changing world of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
This book will explore their world through royal portraits by renowned, and sometimes unknown,
artists of that period. Ranging from official portraits in oil to personal photographs, these images mirror
the character, personality, status and lifestyle of the personages and shed light on the age in which they
lived. Descriptions of portraits, their subjects and artists are complemented by rare insights into the lives
and personalities of the princes based on archival research and oral history.
