This chromolithograph, part of the "Savage and Semi-Barbarous Chiefs and Rulers" series, portrays Princess Shah Jehan of India. Created in 1888 by William S. Kimball & Company, the image depicts the princess in traditional attire, adorned with elaborate jewelry and a crown. The use of vibrant colors and detailed rendering contributes to the overall visual appeal of the card, which reflects the popular fascination with exotic cultures in the late 19th century.
