Rare Vintage Lithograph – Maharaja Prithviraj Chauhan

This rare vintage lithograph captures the regal profile of Maharaja Prithviraj Chauhan, the legendary king of Delhi and Ajmer, celebrated for his unmatched bravery and heroic resistance against foreign invasions. Portrayed in rich, vivid colors, Prithviraj Chauhan is seen adorned in a royal turban with feathered crest, jewel-studded armor, layered pearl necklaces, and an ornate sword slung over his shoulder—symbols of his valor and noble lineage.

The detailed inscription at the bottom narrates his historical legacy, including his famed victory over Muhammad Ghori and his eventual act of supreme courage in the face of adversity. This print, produced by The Bolton F.A.L. Works, Tar Deo, Bombay and published by Hemo Chander Bhargava, Dariba, Delhi, is a fine example of early Indian lithographic artistry.

Framed in its original wooden border, the lithograph reflects not only exceptional craftsmanship but also a deep cultural reverence for one of India’s greatest warrior kings. It is a treasured collectible for enthusiasts of Indian history, heritage art, and nationalist memorabilia.
