Estate:- Manawala Faisalabad (Pakistan)

SYDNEY PRIOR HALL (1842-1922) A caricature of Risaldar SIRDAR ANOOP SINGH MANN Mann's Mannawala #chiefsofpunjab and Risaldar Afzul Khan c.1876 A pencil caricature of two men, who are shown seated and in conversation. Annotated by the artist.

In October 1875 Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and later King Edward VII (r.1901–10), embarked on an extensive tour of the Indian subcontinent, travelling on HMS Serapis. The Prince of Wales visited more than 21 towns and cities across parts of modern-day India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Nepal before returning to England in May 1876. Anoop Singh and Muhammed Afzul Khan returned to Britain with Albert Edward as his Indian Orderly Officers. Both men were in the 11th Regiment of Bengal Lancers; Singh came from a MANNAWALA Sikh family from the Gujranwala area in the Punjab (modern-day Pakistan), and Khan was Jewish and noted by Queen Victoria to be an Afghan. Their individual portraits (see RCINs 403595 and 403594) were commissioned from Hall in 1876 from Queen Victoria, who recorded in her journal meeting the men for the first time at Windsor Castle on 16 May of that year. Sydney Prior Hall’s annotations on this drawing make the derogatory suggestion that Singh and Khan were considered the same to the Europeans with whom they were travelling on HMS Serapis despite being of different backgrounds and religions. The reference to Tweedledum and Tweedledee was a contemporary one; they were identical (though left-right reversals of one another) characters in Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass, published in 1871. The phrase was thereafter used to indicate people or situations that were virtually interchangeable.
