India and the Punjab Sikh portraits by European artists, London, 1979, the rarest modern day book on the Sikhs has been long out of print due to its limited print run and no reprint or second edition followed. F S Aijazuddin, a direct lineal descendent of Fakir Nuruddin, the Foreign Minster of Maharajah Ranjit Singh and the Lahore Durbar elegantly brings to life the colourful Lahore Durbar in this highly illustrated book, containing 17 colour plates and 29 monochrome plates, first and only edition. The book is an invaluable account of the Sikh Art during the Sikh Kingdom by European artists, including such artists as August Schoefft, Goldingham, Beechey, Emily Eden and Franz Xavier Winterhalter. The accompanying text is of the history of Maharajah Ranjit Singh, Kharak Singh, Naunihal Singh, Sher Singh, and ending with Duleep Singh and his children. The final chapter examines the extra ordinary large oil painting of the Court of Lahore, which forms part of the Princess Bamba Collection at the Lahore Fort Museum. The chapter gives a biographical account of some 60 identified person of the Lahore Durbar complete with illustrations. The book is in very fine condition with a fine dust jacket. A very scarce book, a must for any Indian art and Sikh collector.
