H.H. the Maharaja of Bhownuggur with Ministers

Re-enacted scene in the photo studio: The Maharaja listens as a message is read out to him. He sits on a chair and leans his body slightly forwards. The "ambassador" is sitting on the carpet, his feet pointing backwards, looking towards the Maharaja and holding a piece of paper in his hands. Standing and sitting around the Maharaja are 10 other men, all of whom are also wearing a turban. The man on the far right at the back is smiling in a friendly manner. For another photograph of H.H. and a servant with a flywhisk, see (3 March 2010): http://chaucer.lib.umn.edu/node/68500
