An ORIGINAL, NOT A COPY, NOR REPRODUCTION, extremely low starting price which does not reflect value, AUTHENTIC old SIGNATURE CUT of the EDWARD STANLEY 15th EARL OF DERBY to the MARARAJAH DULEEP SINGH from an old English collection.Edward Henry Stanley, 15th Earl of Derby KG, PC, FRS (21 July 1826 – 21 April 1893), known as Lord Stanley from 1851 to 1869, was a British statesman. He served as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs twice, from 1866 to 1868 and from 1874 to 1878. After the fall of the Russell government in 1866 he became Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in his father\'s third administration. He compared his conduct in that great post to that of a man floating down a river and fending off from his vessel, as well as he could, the various obstacles it encountered. He thought that that should be the normal attitude of an English foreign minister, and probably in the circumstances of the years 1866–1868 it was the right one. He enunciated the policy of Splendid isolation in 1866. Maharaja Duleep Singh, GCSI (6 September 1838 – 22 October 1893), also known as Dalip Singh[1] and later in life nicknamed the Black Prince of Perthshire, was the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire. He was Maharaja Ranjit Singh\'s youngest son, the only child of Maharani Jind Kaur. After the assassinations of four of his predecessors, he came to power in September 1843, at the age of five. For a while his mother ruled, as Regent, but in December 1846, after the First Anglo-Sikh War, she was replaced by a British Resident and imprisoned. Mother and son were not allowed to meet again for thirteen and a half years. In April 1849 ten-year-old Duleep was put in the care of Dr John Login. He was exiled to Britain at age 15 and was befriended and much admired by Queen Victoria, who is reported to have written of the Punjabi Maharaja: \"Those eyes and those teeth are too beautiful\". The Queen was godmother to several of his children.Measures approximately 4 1/2 x 2 1/8 inches.It\'s worth a google search to learn more about this talented man\'s life and career.PAYMENT & MAILING
