English: Photograph of Maharaha Duleep Singh during his reign as a child monarch of the Sikh Empire, calotype or daguerreotype by John McCosh, Lahore, Sikh Empire, ca.1848. Duleep Singh would have been around 10-years-old when this photograph was taken. He can be seen wearing the Koh-i-Noor diamond on his right arm as part of a baju-band. He is photographed whilst seated in a European-style chair.
Uploader's note: Whilst some have claimed this photograph was taken in 1849 rather than 1848, based on the research I have conducted it was actually taken in 1848.
