The only photograph of Rani of Jhansi shot by Hoffman in 1852

(img has been renamed on Wikimedia Commons) Unfortunately the photograph is only relevant for being purported to portray Lakshmibai herself; at some time it was misidentified. According to Allen Copsey it is either (1) Sultan Jahan Begum of Bhopal (1838-1901) who in 1872 was created a Grand commander of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India; or (2) her daughter Sultan Jahan Begum of Bhopal (1858-1930) who in 1904 received the Grand Commander of the Indian Empire and in 1910 the Grand Commander of the Star of India.

Please supply a reliable source for this "shot by Hoffman in 1852"? Evidence has been brought forward already that it is Sultan Shah Jahan, Begum of Bhopal who did receive honours from the British Crown. --Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 21:32, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
