EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the grandeur and opulence of Raja Shivaji, the last ruler of the Bhonsie Dynasty in Thanjavur (Tanjore), South India. Seated on a richly patterned carpet, Raja Shivaji is surrounded by his devoted courtiers and servants, attentively waiting upon his every need. The tranquil scene is set amidst the backdrop of a beautiful fountain, adding to the serene ambiance of the image. Raja Shivaji, a Maharajah and king of the Bhonsie Dynasty, is depicted in regal attire, adorned with precious jewels and ornate clothing. His crown, bedecked with precious stones, rests atop his head, symbolizing his royal status and power. The intricate details of his attire, from the embroidered fabric to the delicate beadwork, are a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the period. This engraving is a reproduction of an original work by Francois Solvyns, as published in Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, Florence, Italy, 1844. The meticulous handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the rich history and culture of Thanjavur to life. The result is a stunning and captivating work of art that transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and opulence.
