<\/a>Our concern is that the meeting of Captain Trinquart with the King of Lahore. Is it mere a legendary meeting or it is concerned with historical facts. We do know that the period of 1795 to 1799 is a period of acute disturbances in Lahore. The three Sikh Chieftains had captured Lahore, but to what degree, Actually nothing is very clearly known. Were there pockets of previous Muslim rule still there? Anybody’s guess. The name Ali Sinbade looks imaginary too. But the Print does not. The mosque at the back is very clearly of Lahori origin. More like the Badshahi Mosque Lahore. The King also looks very real as well as his subjects. Not one Sikh in the audience. All faces look Mughal. Even the dresses are more appropriate as well as the tent of the King.\u00a0Contrary to many prints made in those days, there are features\u00a0of reality here.<\/p>\n Our effort is to introduce unknown documentation of Lahore. If we do that, we feel successful. Obviously it is meant for research, but till then, it is also meant o be enjoyed as a missing chapter of Lahore.<\/p>\n We add details from the National library here:<\/p>\n … HAS yielded\u00a03<\/b>\u00a0references in\u00a0the listings of prints and photographs of the newspaper\u00a0Bibliography La France<\/i>\u00a0(1811-1881), ict predecessor\u00a0General Journal of Prints and Libraries<\/i>\u00a0(Dec. 1810 to Sept. 1811), the registers of the\u00a0legal deposit of prints<\/i>\u00a0, 1795-1811, and the surviving registers of prints and photographs which were refused authorization for publication prior to 1870.

The French soldiers and family members died either by malaria, fatigue or in battle. The land for the French cemetery was granted by Tippu Sultan. Only 35 graves exist at present and most of them in a bad state. The locals have vandalised the graves to remove the iron grills, bricks, metal plaques and expensive marble. Many graves are left without any headstone.[33]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n THE SO CALLED ALI SINBADE KING OF LAHORE 1795 FRENCH OFFICER CAPTAIN TRINQUART ACCOSTS HIM A DYNAMIC SCENE FROM THE UNKNOWN PAST On 23rd June, 1838, the National Library of France added a PRINT to their register of prints in the library.
