EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Golundauz of Madras Horse Artillery, a skilled Indian gunner from the mid-19th century. The colour lithograph, drawn and coloured by W Hunsley, is part of a series titled "Natives of the Madras Army". The golundaz were known for their expertise in throwing balls, hence their name derived from Persian words meaning "thrower of balls". This particular artwork provides a glimpse into the rich history and diverse culture within the East India Company's Madras Army during that era. During this time period, the Madras Army boasted three battalions of artillery and one regiment of Horse Artillery headquartered at Dum Dum. The golundauz played an integral role in these units as they skillfully operated cannons and other artillery equipment. The artist beautifully captures not only the intricate details of the golundauz's uniform but also his proud stance and determined expression. It serves as a testament to both his individual bravery and dedication to serving his country. Displayed at London's National Army Museum, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate historical military artistry while gaining insight into India's significant contributions to warfare during colonial times.
