Printed Legacy: Ranjit Singh, 1915 Edition
This portrait of Maharaja Ranjit Singh appeared in C.H. Payne’s A Short History of the Sikhs, published in 1915. Stylized for early 20th-century readers, it reflects how the Lion of Punjab was remembered and represented in printed British literature.
Digitally restored to sharpen its form and revive contrast, the piece remains a compact yet compelling symbol of Sikh sovereignty in the colonial imagination.
