Sir Jung Bahadoor, K.S.I., of Nepaul, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876. 'Sir Jung Bahadoor, at his first meeting with the Prince [of Wales], came out in very plain style. He had on an ordinary straw-coloured dress of cotton, and a pugree of purple and gold was wrapped round his gold-lace cap. He is what is called a Goorkhali - that is, of a race which has sprung from marriages between the Ghoorkas and the original people of the plains...Jung Bahadoor has much of the Turanian type in his face; he has a beard, but the hairs are so wide apart that the outlines of the cheeks and chin can be seen distinctly through it. There is one marked difference between the Ghoorkas and the Ghoorkhalis. The former are all short, while the latter are tall; and this is very marked in the still erect figure of Jung Bahadoor'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
