EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a memorable moment in the annals of Anglo-Indian social history, featuring His Highness Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II of Jaipur (1911-1970) in an elegant evening soiree with the enchanting Miss Molly Jones. The event took place in 1939, graciously hosted by the Ladies Polo Association. Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II, the 2nd Maharaja of Jaipur, was a prominent figure in Indian royalty, known for his love for horses and polo. His resplendent attire, adorned with traditional Rajasthani jewelry and a striking turban, exudes regal charm and sophistication. Miss Molly Jones, a captivating Anglo-Indian socialite, is seen in an exquisite 1930s evening gown, her radiant smile and sparkling eyes reflecting the joy and excitement of the evening. The Ladies Polo Association, an esteemed organization that played a significant role in promoting polo in India, provided the perfect setting for this enchanting encounter between the Maharaja and the captivating Miss Jones. The 1930s, also known as the 'Golden Era' of polo in India, were marked by grand parties, glamour, and the coming together of the Anglo-Indian and Indian elite. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural exchange and the enduring allure of the Anglo-Indian social scene during this era. The photograph, taken by the renowned ILN - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the lives of the Maharaja and Miss Molly Jones and the social milieu of the time.
