The magnificent illustrations include jewellery and gemstones from his treasury and the paintings, luxurious textiles, gold-decorated weapons and armour of his reign. The book also tells the little-known story of the continuing tradition of the later Sikh kingdoms after the Annexation of the Panjab by the British in 1849, as well as the beguiling friendship between the deposed Maharaja Dalip Singh and Queen Victoria.
