Footnotes
Many of the images show the Nawab Saheb and a Colonel Merewether (perhaps the son of Sir William Lockyer Merewether, 1825–1880, famous for his military successes in Baluchistan and Sind). Others depict the palace, the lake, the installation ceremony, "Leaving the Durbar Hall", various group shots, the Radhanpur Polo Team, a bazaar view and wrestling in the courtyard.
