Summary

Description

Rajah Harendra Krishna. Bust portrait captioned Rajah Harendra Krishna. The tall feathered turban ornament, face, moustache, ear ornament, necklaces, patterned clothing and surrounding hatching match the scrapbook. The entire portrait, its outer hatching and printed caption are retained. A named photographer, artist or engraver for this exact impression is not established here; credits in adjacent scrapbook text are not automatically transferred to the image.

Reproduced from The Illustrated London News, vol. LXVIII (68), no. 1906, Saturday, 5 February 1876, printed p. 141. The complete page prints the date and folio; the retained issue cover independently confirms the number, volume and date. The first appearance in all editions and the physical copy used for the scrapbook cutting are not established.

Compared directly with H. P. Blavatsky’s Scrapbooks, volume 5, page 12, item 2. Album images, captions, articles, handwriting, notes, metadata, footnotes and prior sources remain unchanged.

K. K. Venugopal collection / Digital Library of India / Internet Archive, item dli.venugopal.530, catalogue title Illustrated London News (Jan-June) Vol-068, citation WC -13, identifier Vol-068, ARK ark:/13960/t2p647h17. The catalogue records the personal collection of K. K. Venugopal and upload by Public Resource on 8 April 2020. This is a native processed colour access-scan JP2, not an original camera file. Leaf 139 is physically verified as printed p. 141; the mapping is not inferred solely from a fixed leaf offset.

The catalogue creator field reads Milford House. This is not asserted to identify the original 1876 publisher. The physical impression date of the digitized bound copy has not been established; 1876 identifies the reproduced journal issue.
