EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Repulse of the Sortie from Delhi on 14 July" transports us back to a momentous event during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The image captures the intensity and drama of a military encounter that took place in Delhi, India. The scene is filled with action as British forces valiantly defend their position against an Indian sortie. The chaos and tension are palpable, with soldiers engaged in fierce combat amidst billowing smoke and crumbling architecture. This print offers a glimpse into the harrowing realities faced by both sides during this pivotal conflict. Executed by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving was originally published in The Illustrated Times on September 26,1857. It serves as a historical document, shedding light on one aspect of the Indian Rebellion that shaped India's struggle for independence. The composition not only showcases military prowess but also highlights elements of Indian culture through its depiction of native soldiers fighting alongside their British counterparts. This fusion reflects the complex dynamics at play during this turbulent period. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece within their private collection, allowing viewers to delve into history and gain insight into one chapter of India's fight for freedom. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the bravery displayed by those involved and encouraged to reflect upon the enduring impact of such events on our shared human story.
