EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The City of Delhi Before The Siege, 1901" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Taken by an unknown creator, this aerial view captures the cityscape of Delhi before it was besieged and captured by the British during the Indian Mutiny in 1857. Delhi held immense symbolic importance as the seat of India's Mughal rulers, making its capture vital for the British. This image is sourced from "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts, Vol. I. - To The End of the Indian Mutiny", written by J. Maclaren Cobban in 1901. In this monochrome photograph, we witness a birds-eye view that showcases both architectural marvels and fortifications within Delhi's landscape. The majestic Agra Fort stands prominently amidst the city walls, representing a rich historical heritage. Field Marshal Lord Frederick Sleigh Roberts, also known as Earl Roberts or Baron Roberts of Kandahar and Waterford, played a crucial role during this period. His biography serves as an important reference for understanding these events. As we delve into this visual representation of history, let us appreciate how it offers insights into geographical features and landmarks that have shaped Delhi's identity over centuries. This print provides a glimpse into a time when Delhi stood at the crossroads between tradition and colonial influence—a testament to its enduring significance on both national and global stages.
