Ranji
This portrait appeared in the magazine 'Vanity Fair' when Ranjitsinhji Vibhaji was at the height of his sporting fame. He was sent from India to Cambridge to study in 1889 and there began his cricket career. Soon recognised as an outstanding batsman, he went on to play for Sussex and for England, achieving universal renown as 'Ranji'. He subsequently inherited the title of ruler of Navanagar on the death of a relative. Ranjitsinhji spent the remainder of his life in north west India as a wealthy maharajah.
