Photograph of Maharani of Baroda, seated, turned half to left, looking forward. She rests right elbow on round table, her right bare foot rests on footstool. She wears sari with a gold border, numerous necklaces and bracelets, anklets, long earrings. By his own wish, the Prince of Wales made a tour of India from 8 November 1875 until 13 March 1876. During his stay he received and visited many Indian princes and officials, held receptions and levées and went on hunting and sightseeing expeditions. As a result of the visit, six photographic albums were compiled of portraits, groups and views. Some of the photographs were commercial prints already available; others were specially taken to commemorate the tour.
