EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in history when Ranjitsinhji Vibhaji, the Maharaja Jam Sahib of Nawanagar, selflessly offered his house at Staines, Jamnagar as a hospital during the early 20th century. Known as the Prince of Wales Hospital, this noble act by Ranji showcases his compassion and dedication towards serving humanity. Ranjitsinhji Vibhaji was not only an esteemed Indian prince but also a renowned Test cricketer who played for the English cricket team. His exceptional skills on the field earned him various nicknames such as K. S. Ranjitsinhji, Ranji or Smith throughout his career. Besides representing England in international matches, he also excelled in first-class cricket for Cambridge University and Sussex County Cricket Club. In this photograph captured by Alfieri, we witness the grandeur of Ranji's house amidst a serene garden view. The monochrome tones add depth to the image while evoking a sense of nostalgia from that era. It is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use associated with TopFoto or Alfieri's photography. Instead, it focuses on highlighting the historical significance and philanthropic gesture made by Maharaja Jam Sahib of Nawanagar through providing his residence as a hospital during challenging times.
