Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Sir Hira Singh, the Raja of Nabha, taken by an unknown photographer in the 1890s. This full-length portrait shows the Raja seated on a gilded throne with his right leg raised on a footstool. He is dressed in royal regalia including medals and holding a jewel-encrusted sword. The arms of the throne are formed by carved lions. The Raja (1843-1911) ruled the princely state of Nabha in Punjab from 1871 until his death. A Sikh, he was a member of the Phulkian Dynasty descended from the Sidhu Jats. Families of the dynasty ruled Patiala, Jind, Nabha, Bahadur and other Punjab states. Nabha was one of three states collectively known as the Phulkian States, the others being Jind and Patiala. It became a separate state in 1763 and came under British control as a Native State in 1808-09. Under the rule of the British Empire the Raja, who had sent troops to fight in most of the frontier campaigns, was rewarded and created a Knight Grand Commander of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India and entitled to a 15 gun-salute. The image is one of several prints recording the visit of Lord Elgin to Nabha and Patiala, in an album mainly devoted to his Burma tour of November to December 1898. Victor Alexander Bruce (1849-1917), ninth Earl of Elgin and 13th Earl of Kincardine, served as Viceroy of India between 1894 and 1899. Oriental and India Office Collection, British Librarary.

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain in its source country for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in India because its term of copyright has expired.

The Indian Copyright Act applies in India to works first published in India. According to the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, as amended up to Act No. 27 of 2012 (Chapter V, Section 25):

  • Anonymous works, photographs, cinematographic works, sound recordings, government works, and works of corporate authorship or of international organizations enter the public domain 60 years after the date on which they were first published, counted from the beginning of the following calendar year (i.e. as of 2024, works published prior to 1 January 1964 are considered public domain).
  • Posthumous works (other than those above) enter the public domain after 60 years from publication date, counted from the beginning of the following calendar year.
  • Any kind of work other than the above enters the public domain 60 years after the author's death (or in the case of a multi-author work, the death of the last surviving author), counted from the beginning of the following calendar year.
  • Text of laws, judicial opinions, and other government reports are free from copyright.
The Indian Copyright Act, 1957 is not retroactive, so any work in which copyright did not subsist when it commenced did not have its copyright restored, and is in the public domain per the Copyright Act 1911.
 Note that this work might not be in the public domain in countries that do not apply the rule of the shorter term and have copyright terms longer than life of the author plus 60 years. In particular, Mexico is 100 years, Jamaica is 95 years, Colombia is 80 years, Guatemala and Samoa are 75 years, and Switzerland and the United States are 70 years.

It is also in the public domain in the United States for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
