A 19th century brooch with Indian portrait miniature of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the oval portrait on ivory is finely painted in watercolour with gold detailing, and portrays the leader and unifier of the Sikh Empire with white moustache and beard, dressed in a pink and colourfully embroidered coat and turban with fur collar and jewelled aigrette, with a ceremonial arrow, bow and shield; it is collet set and mounted with a tubular edging that ties at the bottom like a stylised Q, verso with glazed panel enclosing a thick plait of brunette hair; width 4.9cm Other Notes: Ranjit Singh was born in 1780, and despite losing his sight in one eye as a result of childhood smallpox, he distinguished himself on the battlefield from his late teens onwards, beginning the conquest of the whole of central Punjab, driving the invading Afghans out of Lahore and back to Kabul, and unifying the various Sikh misls and factions into a functioning empire - eventually holding sway from the bounds of British India in the east to the Durrani Empire in the west, encompassing Kashmir in the north and parts of the Himalayas to Tibet, Multan in the south, Peshawar, Khyber and Jammu. Although this Empire was Sikh, Ranjit Singh was renowned for his reconciling ways: Muslims, Hindus and Christians as well as Sikhs held high political and military positions; all religions were equally respected, and the places of worship of conquered enemies were not destroyed. He is famous for the decoration of the Harmandir Sahib (the Golden Temple) in Amritsar, and for owning the Koh-i-Noor diamond. He died in 1839, being succeeded briefly by his first born son Kharak Singh, and then, after a short time of political turmoil, by his youngest son, Duleep Singh, aged only five. (The British soon swept him and his regent mother from power and exiled him to Britain, where he spent most of the rest of his life, a protégé of Queen Victoria, member of high society and owner of the Elvedon estate near Thetford.) Ranjit Singh thus created and presided over the Sikh Empire which dissolved within a decade of his death. His reputation was and remains remarkable. He was known as Sher-e-Punjab (Lion of the Punjab), one of only three awarded the title 'Lion' in the modern history of the Indian subcontinent. He has been compared to Napoleon for military prowess and leadership, but notably without ferocity or blood-thirstiness, nor punishing criminals with death. His foreign minister, Fakir Azizuddin, when asked by the Governor-General of India, Lord Auckland, which of Ranjit Singh's eyes was blind, replied, "the Maharaja is like the sun, and the sun has only one eye. The splendour and luminosity of his single eye is so much that I have never dared look at his other eye".

William Wilberforce Family. The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ..., Stereotype Edition, printed by George Eyre and Andrew Strahan, for the Naval and Military Bible Society, 1818, ownership signature of Barbara Wilberforce (1799-1821) to front free endpaper and inscribed 'Rydal 1818' beneath, ownership signature of 'Wm Wilberforce' to title and beneath it written 'I began to use it Oct 2d 1830 at Brighton', some pencil marginalia and underscoring plus juvenile jottings to rear endpapers and scribble beneath front endpaper inscription, some light browning and dust-soiling, original calf with blind stamp of Naval and Military Bible Society to upper and lower covers, lacks clasp, heavily rubbed and some wear to extremities, joints weak, 12mo An interesting association item. The William Wilberforce signature and inscription on the title-page could be that of William Wilberforce (1798-1879) the son of the great philanphropist and slavery abolitionist William Wilberforce MP (1759-1833); or William Wilberforce MA (1821-1900), the eldest son of William junior. The handwriting and marginalia suggest a younger hand. At this time in 1830 William junior's venture as a dairy farmer at St John's Wood in London was failing. The first signature, that of Barbara Wilberforce (1799-1821) belongs to William senior's second-born child; and the location is that of Rydal Mount, the English Lake District home of William and Mary Wordsworth. William Wilberforce senior had connections to the Lake District and the Wordsworth family and in 1818 the Wilberforce family descended on the Wordsworths' home for a visit which lasted several months. It seems possible therefore that this book was given by Barbara to her young nephew William. The Bible Society was founded in 1779, but changed its name to Naval and Military Bible Society in 1804 when the British and Foreign Bible Society was founded by a group of people including William Wilberforce and Thomas Charles. The Naval and Military Bible Society changed its name again to the Naval, Military & Air Force Bible Society in 1961. (1)
