EDITORS COMMENTS
The Long, Long Indian Day" captures the bustling and eventful life of a subaltern in 19th century India. This engraving, created by an English School artist for The Graphic in 1882, offers a vivid glimpse into the twenty-four-hour journey of this military officer. From dawn till dusk, the subaltern's day is filled with non-stop activity. As depicted in the print, he rises early to meet his duty and is immediately greeted by a chaotic scene: lines of carriages and street scenes bustling with people. The military band plays energetically as he navigates through the busy mess. Despite the long hours and lack of rest, there are moments of respite scattered throughout his day. He finds solace in brief periods of sleep or enjoys breakfast with a rich Parsee gentleman before continuing on his way. The image also showcases various aspects of Indian culture intertwined with daily life. Horses play a significant role as means of transport and entertainment; racehorses and ponies can be seen alongside majestic shire horses and stallions. Casinos dotting the landscape provide glimpses into gambling halls where both locals and foreigners try their luck. Through this intricate engraving, viewers are transported back to an era when India was alive with vibrant colors, exotic animals, diverse cultures, and constant movement. It serves as a testament to the endurance required by those serving their duties during "The Long, Long Indian Day.
