EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Storming of Delhi 1857" depicts a pivotal moment during the Great Mutiny in India. The image showcases the intense military operations that took place before and around Delhi, as illustrated by George Francklin Atkinson. Engraved by George McCulloch and published by Day & Son in 1857, this colour lithograph is part of a remarkable series of 26 prints created by W. Simpson, E. Walker, and other talented artists. The scene captures the chaos and violence that unfolded during the uprising against British rule. Dust clouds fill the air as Indian troops valiantly attack fortified city walls defended by armed forces loyal to the British Raj. Soldiers clash with one another amidst cannon fire and stone-throwing confrontations. This historic artwork serves as a poignant reminder of a significant chapter in India's struggle for independence. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the bravery and determination displayed by those who fought against colonial oppression. Displayed at London's National Army Museum, this powerful image transports us back to a time when conflict raged across Indian soil. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and an important historical document, preserving memories of a tumultuous period that shaped India's future trajectory towards freedom.
