EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Storming of Delhi" takes us back to the intense and chaotic events associated with the Indian Mutiny in 1857-59. Engraved by T. H. Sherratt and published by the London Printing and Publishing Company in August 1859, this artwork captures a pivotal moment during the conflict. The image showcases a dramatic scene within the city walls of Delhi, where cannon fire fills the air, creating an atmosphere of chaos and destruction. British soldiers armed with bayonets engage in fierce combat against Sikh warriors as they storm a bridge leading into Delhi. The clash between these two forces symbolizes the confrontation between East and West, highlighting both cultural differences and imperial ambitions. The engraving skillfully portrays the intensity of battle, emphasizing every detail from smoke-filled skies to determined expressions on each soldier's face. This historical artwork offers viewers a glimpse into one of India's most significant uprisings against British rule. Displayed at the National Army Museum in London, this print serves as a powerful reminder of past conflicts while also showcasing Matthew "Matt". Somerville Morgan's artistic talent. As we observe this piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how soldiers fought bravely amidst such turmoil—a testament to human resilience even during times of great strife.
