Created by Alonzo Chappel and part of a private collection, this print depicts the heroic efforts of Sir Henry Havelock during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

British troops are seen battling against formidable odds as they fight to break the siege and rescue their fellow soldiers trapped inside. The image is filled with tension and determination as these brave men risk their lives for victory. The artwork not only captures the military aspect but also provides a glimpse into the cultural context of colonial India.
