This historical illustration transports us to the fifth century, where we witness a monumental battle taking place in Northern India. In this scene, an army of brave soldiers on horseback charges forward with spears and turbans adorning their heads. They are engaged in fierce combat against the formidable Epthalites or White Huns, who had established their rule over this region. The warriors' determination is palpable as they clash with their adversaries amidst a chaotic battlefield. The highlight of this artwork lies in its depiction of majestic elephants joining the fray. These magnificent creatures, ridden by skilled Indian soldiers, add an element of awe and power to the composition. Their presence symbolizes strength and resilience as they charge fearlessly into battle. Dudley's attention to detail is evident throughout this lithograph print; every figure exudes energy and intensity.
