Légende

The Maharajah of Jodhpore, 1876. 'The Maharajah of Jodpore, G.C.S.I., is a Rajpoot chief of the highest dignity. His territory, properly called Marwar, is situated in Western India, north of Oudeypore and Baroda, towards the Runn of Cutch and the borders of Scinde. Its extent is about 330 miles by 150, and it has a population much below two millions. The Maharajah boasts an illustrious Hindoo ancestry, but has no real power, being tributary to the British Government, as his predecessors were to the Mahratta rulers of Western India, and previously to the Mogul. He wore a spreading petticoat of pink satin, a jacket with open sleeves, and a tall plumed cap'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
