This photograph print showcases Maharaja Sir Pratap Singh Bahadur of Idar (1845-1922), a remarkable figure in the annals of British Indian history. Born into the royal family of Idar, Pratap Singh rose to prominence as a distinguished British Indian Army soldier, reaching the rank of Lieutenant-General. He also held the prestigious titles of Maharaja and Sahib. From 1902 to 1911, Pratap Singh served as Maharaja of Idar and heir to Ahmednagar. During this period, he forged close friendships with several members of the British Royal Family, including Queen Victoria, who held him in high esteem. Pratap Singh's military prowess and loyalty to the British Empire earned him the position of Aide-de-Camp to King Edward VII. As a warrior and friend of the British monarchy, Pratap Singh played an essential role in the political landscape of the Indian subcontinent during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was a confidant of the future King George V and maintained a strong alliance with the British Empire. In 1911, Pratap Singh made the courageous decision to abdicate in favor of his adopted son, ensuring a smooth transition of power and preserving the stability of the princely state of Idar. This photograph print serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the lives of monarchs and princes intertwined in the complex tapestry of British colonial rule in India.
