EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, dating back to the 19th century, offers a fascinating snapshot of the esteemed Calcutta Volunteer Guards. The image showcases a private collection that has preserved this historical gem for generations to come. Intriguingly sketched by an English School artist, the print depicts a cavalry regiment in full dress. The native officer and European officer stand side by side, exemplifying the diverse composition of this military unit. Majestic horses flank them as they proudly display their heavy marching order. The scene also includes other elements such as rifle company privates in undress attire and soldiers from the Madras Native Infantry's 38th Regiment. This amalgamation of troops highlights India's rich cultural tapestry within its armed forces. Set against the backdrop of bustling Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta), this artwork transports us to an era when Asia was witnessing significant changes through British colonization. It serves as a testament to both Indian and British history intertwining during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the bravery and dedication exhibited by these men who served in combat units like the Calcutta Volunteer Guards.
