The catalogue for the upcoming exhibition at the Wallace Collection, featuring historic artworks, jewellery and weaponry from Ranjit Singh’s court, courtiers and family members. Also highlighted are objects intimately connected with his son, Maharaja Duleep Singh – the deposed boy-king turned country squire who was a favourite of Queen Victoria and father of the prominent suffragette Princess Sophia Duleep Singh.
Richly illustrated, this catalogue also reveals the achievements of Ranjit Singh’s European and American Officials. Acknowledging Ranjit Singh’s remarkable feat of holding back the threat of a British invasion for four decades, these ‘Firangis’ would nickname their esteemed Sikh sovereign ‘The Napoleon of the East’.
