The gifting of precious manuscripts was an established diplomatic custom under the Mughals. In emulation of this, the Nawab of Awadh gifted the 'illustrated Badshah Nama' (One containing paintings along with written text) to King George III in 1799. Since then it has been preserved in the English Royal Collections, now at Windsor Castle. |
