EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Rajah Harendra Krishna, a distinguished Bengali gentleman of the late 19th century. The engraving is derived from a photograph and depicts Rajah Harendra Krishna, a member of the Bengal Legislative Council, adorned in traditional Indian attire. He holds the esteemed titles of Bahadur and Rajah, making him a significant figure in Bengali society. Rajah Harendra Krishna hails from the Sobha-bazar family, who have long been allies of the British since the days of Lord Clive. The history of British Indian progress acknowledges the invaluable services of his great-grandfather, Nava Krishna, who passed away in 1797. Nava Krishna was recognized and appreciated by both Clive and Warren Hastings for his contributions. The present Kumar Harendra Krishna, Rajah Harendra Krishna's great-grandson, has been a dedicated servant of the Bengal Government since 1851. His father, the late Rajah Kali Krishna, was an eminent Sanskrit scholar. Rajah Harendra Krishna's turbaned head is adorned with jewels and jewellery, reflecting his royal lineage and wealth. This portrait, published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1876, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and history of Bengal during the British colonial era. The image showcases Rajah Harendra Krishna's striking facial features, including his moustache, and his elegant headgear. The black and white engraving is a testament to the artistic prowess of the time and the enduring legacy of the subjects it captures.
