EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the regal grandeur of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of the Maratha Empire in India during the 17th century. The image, produced in the 19th century, depicts Shivaji Maharaj on horseback, surrounded by an entourage of loyal guards and attendants. The Maratha Empire was a significant Hindu kingdom that emerged during a time when Islamic rule dominated much of India. Shivaji Maharaj's leadership and military prowess challenged the Mughal Empire, leading to the establishment of a powerful and independent Maratha state. Shivaji Maharaj is depicted in the print with a full beard, a symbol of his maturity and wisdom. He is dressed in traditional Maratha attire, adorned with a turban and a fan, signifying his royal status. The horse, an essential mode of transportation for warriors in that era, is adorned with intricate designs and regal trappings. The Maratha soldiers in the background, with their weapons at the ready, demonstrate the military might of the empire. The Maratha Empire's influence extended beyond India's borders, making it a significant player in Asian history. The engraving is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India and the enduring legacy of its historical figures. The vibrant colors used in the print add depth and dimension to the image, making it a stunning work of art that transports us back in time to the imperial era of the Maratha Empire.
