Légende

The Maharajah Scindia of Gwalior; The Maharajah of Cashmere, 1876. 'It should be observed that the Mahratta potentates of Western India are now valuable allies of the British Government. Scindia was overthrown in the Sepoy War of 1858, by a rebellion headed by Tantia Topee and the Ranee or Dowager Princess of Jhansi, at the instigation of Nana Sahib. He was restored by the British force under Sir Hugh Rose, now Lord Strathnairn, who stormed the rock- fortress of Gwalior'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
