EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lithograph, titled "Officers Joining the Force, 1857-1858 circa" offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history. Created by George Francklin Atkinson and published by Day and Son in 1857-1858, this print is part of a series called "The Campaign in India 1857-58". During the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859), when news reached the hill stations, troops who were able to march immediately departed for the Siege of Delhi. This particular image showcases two British officers riding at great speed in a unique two-wheeled canopied cart driven by an Indian blowing a bugle. The urgency and determination on their faces are palpable as they join forces to confront the mutiny. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of not only the officers but also their mode of transportation - an intriguing combination of British innovation and local influence. The presence of horses adds an element of power and mobility to this scene. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness these brave men embarking on their mission amidst uncertain times. It serves as a reminder of the courage exhibited during historical events that shaped nations. Displayed at the National Army Museum in London, this print preserves an important chapter from our past while celebrating both artistic skill and historical significance.
