EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lithograph, titled "Mutineers surprised by Her Majesty's 9th Lancers" takes us back to the tumultuous era of the Indian Mutiny in 1857. The image showcases a pivotal moment during this historic conflict, as rebel mutineers find themselves unexpectedly surrounded by the formidable 9th Queens Royal Lancers. The print vividly captures the intensity and chaos of battle, with the lancers on horseback strategically encircling a rebel ox cart attempting to cross a culvert. The sheer power and determination emanating from both sides is palpable, making it evident that this encounter will have far-reaching consequences. During this period, the 9th Queens Royal Lancers earned their fearsome reputation as "the Delhi Spearmen" due to their involvement in key battles such as the Siege of Delhi and Relief of Lucknow. Their presence here signifies not only their unwavering loyalty to Queen and country but also their crucial role in quelling rebellion throughout India. As we delve into this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a critical juncture in history. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely against insurrection while shedding light on an important chapter in British colonial rule. This stunning print is part of "The Campaign in India 1857-58" series created by William Simpson, E Walker, G F Atkinson, and published by Day and Son between 1857-185
