The Maharajah of Mysore in his childhood, 1881. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Hughes Brothers, of Madras, '...taken some years ago...The important Native State of Mysore, in Southern India, after a long period of British administration, has been restored to the government of its legitimate Prince, the Maharajah Chamarajendra Wodiyar, who is eighteen years of age. He is the adopted son of the Maharajah Krishnaraj Wodiyar; and it was promised in 1868, by a Proclamation of the British Governor-General of India, that this adoption and the succession of Chamarajendra should be duly acknowledged upon his coming of age. That event took place on March 25 last, when the ceremonious installation of the young Maharajah was held in the city of Mysore, in the presence of the Right Hon. W. P. Adam, recently appointed Governor of Madras, who came instead of the Marquis of Ripon, the Viceroy of India. Mr. James Davidson Gordon, C.S.I., who has held the office of Chief Commissioner for the Government of Mysore since 1878, having previously been official guardian of the infant Rajah, is now appointed British Resident at the Mysore Court'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
