. This lithograph, titled "The Indian Frontier Rising" offers a mesmerizing snapshot of life on the Indian frontier during the late 19th century. Created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright, this print showcases an array of scenes that depict both the bustling activity and fortified grandeur of the region.
