EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Pratap Singh, a remarkable figure in British Indian history. Born in 1845 and passing away in 1922, he held multiple prestigious titles including being an officer in the British Indian Army and serving as the Maharaja of Idar, a princely state located in Gujarat. Pratap Singh's influence extended beyond his homeland as he frequently traveled to Europe. His close relationship with Queen Victoria and her family is evident from his role as aide-de-camp to Edward VII for over two decades, from 1887 to 1910. Notably, he shared a special bond with his son, who would later become George V of the United Kingdom. In this portrait captured by The Print Collector for Wills Cigarettes Allied Army Leaders series in 1917, Pratap Singh exudes wisdom and regality. Dressed impeccably in military uniform adorned with a turban and sporting an impressive mustache that adds character to his face.

It serves as a testament to Pratap Singh's esteemed position within both British Indian society and international circles.
