This drawing, titled "General Sir Hugh Roses Camp at Saugor, 6 February 1858" offers a glimpse into a significant moment during the Indian Mutiny. Created by Lieutenant Peter Charles William in circa 1858, this grey and brown wash print showcases General Sir Hugh Rose's Central India Field Force camped on a plain below the hills. The scene depicts an expansive panorama of the camp, situated amidst the topography of Saugor. The city of Bombay (now Mumbai) served as their starting point in December 1857 when they embarked on their mission to relieve Saugor from siege. On February 5th, 1858, they successfully liberated the small European garrison stationed there. With their victory secured at Saugor, General Rose and his forces then moved forward to Jhansi – the heartland of rebel power in Central India. This drawing provides us with a visual representation of an important chapter in history when British forces were combating against rebellion and unrest across India. Preserved by the National Army Museum in London, this artwork not only captures military strategy but also serves as a testament to Lieutenant Peter Charles William's artistic talent. Through his meticulous strokes and attention to detail, he brings alive the atmosphere and essence of this pivotal moment during one of India's most tumultuous periods.
