DescriptionPhotograph of Maharaha Duleep Singh during his reign as a child monarch of the Sikh Empire, by John McCosh, Lahore, ca.1848 (detail 2).jpg |
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.

This photograph may have originally been arranged on a page grouped together with other photographs labelled "Sikhs", with each having an album/mount caption, as per Elizabeth Edwards and Ella Ravilious in 'What Photographs Do: The Making and Remaking of Museum Cultures' (pages 142–143, 21 November 2022, ISBN: 9781800082984), available for free download via: [7] Quote from the above discussing this:

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
