EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the regal presence of Maharaja Mahtab Chand Bahadur with his son and suite in the 1870s. Taken by a British photographer during the era of the British Raj, this image showcases the courtly elegance and formality of Indian royalty. Seated in a composed manner, Maharaja Mahtab Chand Bahadur exudes power and authority as he is surrounded by his advisers and courtiers. The intricate details of their attire reflect their status within society, while also highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Bengal. The young boy beside him is his adopted son, who would later become Maharaja Aftabchand Bahadur. This tender moment captured between father and son adds a touch of warmth to an otherwise formal setting. Located in Burdawan, Bengal, this photograph provides us with a glimpse into the opulent world inhabited by these influential figures. It serves as a testament to both Indian royalty's grandeur during that time period and British photographers' interest in documenting diverse cultures. Preserved within a private collection today, this historical print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in capturing an important chapter in India's history under colonial rule.
