EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah, Aga Khan III, in 1930. As the leader of all Muslims in India and a highly progressive ruler, he has won the hearts of millions of followers both within his country and beyond. However, this image reveals another side to his personality - that of a passionate racehorse owner. The Aga Khan III (1877-1957) is seen here dressed impeccably in traditional Indian attire, complete with a homburg hat and spectacles. His confident gaze suggests a man who knows what he wants and how to achieve it. The photograph was taken by Henry E. White for "The Pageant of the Century" published by Odhams Press Ltd in 1933. Despite his influential position as a political figurehead, the Aga Khan's love for horse racing shines through in this portrait. It serves as a reminder that even leaders have their passions outside their official duties. This image not only captures an important historical figure but also provides insight into the multifaceted nature of individuals who hold positions of power. It reminds us that behind every public persona lies personal interests and hobbies that shape their character. As we admire this remarkable photograph today, we are transported back to an era where tradition met progressiveness, showcasing Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah's unique blend of leadership qualities alongside his love for sport and horses.
