EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a rhinoceros that was discovered by the British forces when they captured the camp of Rundheer Singh, a notorious robber chief in Bengal, India, in December 1852. The image shows the massive beast chained and surrounded by soldiers, highlighting the power and dominance of the British military during the colonial era. Rundheer Singh, also known as Rundheer Avadhoot, was a famous bandit who ruled over a large territory in the 1840s and 1850s, terrorizing travelers and merchants on the Grand Trunk Road. He was known for his cunning and ferocity, and his camp was a fortified stronghold that was difficult to penetrate. The British East India Company, which ruled over large parts of India at the time, had been trying to capture Rundheer Singh for years. In December 1852, they finally succeeded in tracking him down and launching a successful attack on his camp. The discovery of the chained rhinoceros was a significant symbol of the British victory and their dominance over the region. The rhinoceros, a native animal of India, was likely kept as a status symbol or a source of entertainment by Rundheer Singh and his men. The engraving is a testament to the historical significance of the event and the cultural exchange between the British and Indian peoples during the colonial period. The image, which is believed to have been created around 1853, is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in the history of Bengal and India. It is also a reminder of the complex and often contentious relationship between the British and Indian peoples during the colonial era. The engraving is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering insights into the lives of the people who lived in Bengal during the 19th century and the role that animals played in their society.
