EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""See, "he said, "here is one of my monkeys"" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the expertise of Arthur David McCormick, an English artist known for his exceptional lithographs. The scene depicted in this artwork transports us to India during the time of the British Empire. It captures a pivotal event during the Lucknow Siege, where Sir Henry Lawrence, a prominent British commander, proudly presents one of his loyal soldiers - referred to as "one of my monkeys". The soldier stands tall and resolute amidst the chaos and uncertainty that surrounds them. The composition skillfully portrays elements crucial to understanding this historical period. We see cannons positioned strategically behind them, symbolizing both power and defense against mutiny. The soldiers are armed with weapons ready for battle while wearing their distinctive uniforms. McCormick's attention to detail brings this moment alive with vibrant colors that enhance our connection to this piece. This color lithograph was originally published in "Romance of Empire: India" by T. C & E. C Jack in the 1920s. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art, we are reminded not only of the bravery and resilience displayed by these soldiers but also how history has shaped our present-day world. It serves as a poignant reminder of the complex relationship between nations and cultures throughout centuries past.
