Framed Photograph: Nawab Salarjung Bahadur

This photograph was taken in the British Raj of Nawab Salarjung Bahadur. It's an excellent quality copy taken from the original glass plate. It has then been framed in a black wooden frame.

The family of Salar Jung traces its descent from Sheikh Ovaisi-I-Quarini of Madina in Arabia. In the middle of the 17th C. the family of Nawab Saheb migrated from Madina to the Adil Shahi Kingdom of Bijapur where he married into a noble family. Nawab Dargah Quili Khan was only 14 years old when Nizam ul Mulk, (the Nizam of Hyderabad) gave him a military command and 'Jagir'. Six years later he became ADC to Nizam Ul Mulk. The family went on to acquire much importance that five members served as the Prime Ministers of Hyderabad.
