Wallace Collection | Ranjit Singh: Sikh, Warrior, King
Bishan Singh, The Court of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, 1863-1864. Toor Collection.

In 2024, the Wallace Collection hosted a major exhibition in London showcasing the life of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Signification contributions for the exhibit were made from Davindoor Toor's private collection, which I mentioned in another post reviewing his book In Pursuit of Empire. After it closed, the Wallace Collection has put together a wonderful summary of the exhibition on their website about the Sikh Empire — the Court of Lahore, its once formidable army and the land itself.
