Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Bharatpur-1882; he is wearing a wig(?) ....but his shoes are definitely European court shoes, high heeled, as worn by French kings

Talking of old photos, superimposed or otherwise, I came across these superb photos on these Princes' love of the better things of life.........so enjoy............they sure were also very vainglorious............

here is Maharaja Sir Bhupender Singh of Patiala (Punjab) with his collection of medals, including those bestowed him from various countries!!
