Accustomed to opulent lives but without any political power, these maharajas had to ingratiate themselves to the British for their lifestyles and settle for the crumbs dished out to them. They were often summoned and hauled up to London to meet with those in charge." -- Jano (online).Over 4,000 Punch cartoons listed for sale (store category "Punch cartoons"), combine orders and save shipping charges.
