1857 Mutiny Rebel Sepoy Sepoys Swords Uprising
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the intense moment of the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny, a pivotal moment in Indian history. The Sepoys, native soldiers in the employ of the British East India Company, are seen here in a defiant stance, brandishing swords and bearing the distinctive red coats and turbans of their regiments. The mutiny, also known as the Indian Rebellion, began in Meerut in May 1857 and quickly spread to other parts of India, marking the end of the Company's rule and the beginning of British colonial rule. The causes of the mutiny were complex, with discontent among the sepoys over the introduction of a new rifle cartridge rumored to be greased with cow and pig fat, offensive to both Hindu and Muslim soldiers. Added to this were long-standing grievances over pay, working conditions, and the heavy-handed rule of the British. The mutiny was brutally suppressed, with the British using superior military technology and tactics to quell the uprising. Thousands of Indians were killed, and many more were left displaced or in poverty. The aftermath of the mutiny saw significant changes in British colonial rule, with the establishment of direct British rule through the Crown, and the implementation of new policies aimed at maintaining control over the Indian population. This photograph, taken likely in the aftermath of the mutiny, provides a chilling reminder of the violent clash of cultures and the complexities of colonial rule in India. The sepoys, once loyal soldiers in the British army, now stand as symbols of resistance and rebellion against foreign rule. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the rich and complex history of India and the profound impact of colonialism on its people.
