EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Capture of Moultan" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Second Anglo-Sikh War. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the intense military action that unfolded on 27 and 28 December 1848. The scene depicted is one of chaos and determination as European sailors join forces with Indian navy troops to storm Moultan's defenses. The town's great mound and battery are under attack, while soldiers breach its walls through Delhi Gate. The topography of the area adds depth to the illustration, highlighting both the strategic challenges faced by the attacking forces and their relentless pursuit of victory. Mortar batteries and howitzers can be seen manned by brave soldiers who relentlessly bombard their targets. Amidst all this turmoil, we catch a glimpse of East Side, where European sailors fearlessly engage in combat alongside their Indian counterparts. This historic event marked a turning point in the war as Multan was captured just days before New Year's Day in 1849. This engraving serves as a testament to both the bravery exhibited by those involved and also provides valuable insight into this crucial chapter in South Asian history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork from its private collection for us to appreciate today – reminding us of our shared past and shedding light on important historical events like never before.
