EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Storming of Delhi" takes us back to the tumultuous events of the Indian Mutiny in 1857-59. Engraved by T. H. Sherratt and published by the London Printing and Publishing Company in August 1859, this colour engraving vividly depicts the chaos and intensity of battle. The image showcases a dramatic scene where British soldiers, alongside Sikh allies, storm the city walls of Delhi. Bayonets gleaming, they bravely face cannon fire while crossing a bridge amidst fierce fighting. The composition captures both the bravery and desperation that characterized this historic conflict. Matthew "Matt". Somerville Morgan's skilled hand brings life to this historical moment through his detailed rendering. Every stroke conveys not only the physicality but also the emotional weight carried by those involved in this struggle for power. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to an era when Asia was embroiled in colonial conflicts. It serves as a reminder of how history has shaped our present reality and prompts us to reflect on its impact on global relations today. This print is part of a private collection, preserved for generations to come so that we may continue learning from our past struggles and triumphs. Its availability through www. bridgemanart. com allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical significance without commercial constraints or limitations.
