English: Racinet 1876: another version of Akbar and Jahangir
Source: ebay, Nov. 2005 "THE MOGUL EMPIRE WAS FOUNDED IN 1505, but Aureng-Zeb was the Emperor responsible for its geographical expansion: he had acquired some 64 million subjects before his death in 1707 at the age of 88. The Court of the Grand Mogul - as the Mogul emperors were known - was one of the richest imagineable, drawing as it could on all the riches of Hindustan. 1. The Emperor Djehanguir, who ruled from 1605 to his death in 1627, sitting on his throne beneath a parasol. The apparent simplicity of his costume is most elegant: he has a most attractive pearl and diamond turban, and his delicate robe is made from fine cotton from the Dacca region. The golden throne, silk rug and silver railings are all traditional, though one would have expected the Emperor to have been wearing rings on his fingers. Inset, with a spray of feathers, is another Emperor, Djehander-Schah, who was crowned in 1712, but beheaded a month later. 2 & 3 Mogul women, wearing veils of thin muslin, with jewels on their foreheads, ears and hands. Their robes are made of fine cotton from Dacca, and their trousers, of embroidered silk, come from the valley of Kashmir. Their breasts are supported by cases made from a very light, flexible wood, joined together in the middle and strapped on behind. After washing, Mogul women apply sandalwood powder as a perfume, then highlight their eyes with antimony. They paint their nails a vermilion colour, using the sap of the maldroni plant." |
