EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the illustrious H. H. The Aga Khan III, taken in 1936 by Alick Penrose Forbes Ritchie. Sultan Muhammed Shah, also known as the Aga Khan III, was not only a spiritual leader but also an influential political figure and philanthropist. As the 48th Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, he played a pivotal role in founding and presiding over the All-India Muslim League, which ultimately led to the creation of Pakistan in 1947. In addition to his religious and political endeavors, The Aga Khan III was renowned for his love of thoroughbred racing horses. With an impressive five victories at the prestigious British Classic race Epsom Derby, he established himself as a prominent sportsman in England. This particular image is part of a series called Straight Line caricatures produced as cigarette cards by John Player & Sons during the golden age of cigarette cards from late 19th century until World War II. These collectible cards served not only as entertainment but also provided instruction and amusement before television and radio became widespread. The jovial expression on The Aga Khan's face reflects his charismatic personality while wearing his iconic top hat adds to his distinguished presence. This vintage card serves as a testament to both his leadership within the Muslim community and his significant contributions to society as a whole.
