EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Arrest of Lord Pigot" takes us back to a significant moment in history, capturing the essence of British colonial rule in India during the 19th century. Illustrated by James Grant and published in 1879, this lithograph showcases an event that unfolded within the East India Company. Intriguingly, we witness soldiers meticulously executing their duty as they apprehend George Pigot, the 1st Baron Pigot Bt and British governor of Madras at that time. The image portrays a pivotal moment where power dynamics are visibly shifting amidst colonisation. This arresting engraving from Cassell's Illustrated History of India invites viewers to delve into the complexities surrounding imperialism and its consequences on Indian soil. It serves as a reminder that history is not merely confined to textbooks but can be vividly brought to life through art. As we gaze upon this historical gem housed within a private collection, it evokes contemplation about the impact of foreign governance on indigenous cultures. The composition skillfully captures both tension and intrigue while shedding light on an era when nations vied for control over distant lands. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, this photograph print transports us back in time - allowing us to reflect upon moments that have shaped our world today.
