Summary

Description

The Maharajah of Jodhpore. A group of three figures in wide pleated robes and plumed headgear, captioned The Maharajah of Jodhpore. The figures, faces, turned central body, headgear, straps, arms, patterned hems and feet match the scrapbook. The full composition, printed frame including its original breaks, and caption are retained. The source heading is Sketches at the Grand Chapter of the Star of India at Calcutta. By one of our special artists. No individual artist or engraver is identified. The figures are not reidentified as dervishes from their clothes, and no individual position is assigned beyond the printed caption. The separate scene below is outside this crop.

Reproduced from The Illustrated London News, vol. LXVIII (68), no. 1906, Saturday, 5 February 1876, printed p. 137. 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 79, item 1. Album images, captions, articles, handwriting, notes, metadata, footnotes and prior sources remain unchanged.

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 135 is physically verified as printed p. 137; 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.

File and processing

PNG, 4000 × 3094 pixels, RGB; natural paper colour retained. Complete input: 5856 × 8816 pixels, 4284424 bytes, SHA-256 3f42e0406ca678ef8642c22e85b666d2c744923cc5ff9e2e87b2498e0be9204d.

Crop (190, 445)–(5725, 4745) in the unchanged source image. No fine resampling: the measured reference is already within alignment tolerance. Final trim (40, 40)–(5495, 4260); right and bottom bounds are exclusive. No added canvas is retained. The complete picture, original frame or surrounding portrait hatching, printed caption and meaningful marks remain. Original paper colour, show-through, folds, stains, printed irregularities and scan artefacts are retained. No enlargement, colour or tonal correction, sharpening, retouching, watermark removal or reconstruction was applied. PNG compression is lossless; the complete access-scan input remains unchanged.

Display copy

This reduced display copy preserves the complete aligned crop. The full-size aligned PNG, 5455 × 4220 pixels, is separately retained as File:SB-05-079-source-1.png, with a direct full-size download. Its SHA-256 is ae28f6bd323c05a9fe7ba643df53268832aad068b495ae5df4d4503dcb5c8738.

The geometry above describes the full aligned crop. One additional aspect-preserving Lanczos reduction to 4000 × 3094 pixels was applied to that PNG for display. The wiki has a confirmed thumbnail limit of 12.5 MP, observed on another image in this publication task; the full crop exceeds it. This reduced copy is below that limit. No additional cropping, rotation, colour or tonal correction, sharpening, retouching or reconstruction was applied. The original aligned PNG and source JP2 remain unchanged.
