EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Prince Victor Duleep Singh and his wife, Lady Anne Coventry, are seen enjoying a leisurely moment at the famed Casino in Monte Carlo, a popular destination for the European aristocracy and high society during the early 20th century. The Prince, dressed in a smart suit and top hat, and the Princess, elegantly attired in a long, flowing dress and a stylish hat, exude an air of sophistication and refinement. Prince Victor Duleep Singh, the last Maharajah of Lahore, was a prominent figure in British society following his exile to England after the Second Anglo-Sikh War in 1849. He was known for his extravagant lifestyle and his love for gambling, which reportedly led him to declare bankruptcy in 1902. Despite his financial troubles, the Prince and his wife continued to frequent the French Riviera, including Monte Carlo, where they sought respite from their troubles and the glamour of the European aristocracy. The Casino at Monte Carlo, with its iconic Belle Époque architecture and opulent interiors, was the perfect backdrop for the Prince and Princess to indulge in their love of gaming and the high life. The Casino, which opened in 1863, was a symbol of the French Riviera's allure and glamour, attracting the wealthy and famous from around the world. This portrait captures a moment of respite and enjoyment for the Prince and Princess, amidst the backdrop of their tumultuous financial situation. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Monte Carlo and the French Riviera, and the fascination of the European aristocracy with the glamour and excitement of gambling.
