EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century engraving, titled 'Troops Destined for the Dutch Colonies in India,' depicts a lively scene of soldiers and their families bidding farewell in the bustling city of Rotterdam, Netherlands. The image, an intricate Kellenbach Engraving for The Artistic Illustration published in 1886, is richly colored and brings the era to life. A band of soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are gathered in the foreground, their instruments at the ready. A drummer strikes his drum, while a flautist plays a lively tune on his flute. Children and dogs mill about, adding to the sense of excitement and anticipation. The soldiers, many of them with their families in tow, prepare to board a ship for their journey to the Dutch colonies in India. The crowd of onlookers, a mix of Dutchmen and Netherlanders, line the streets, waving and cheering as the soldiers pass by. The sense of motion and movement is palpable, as the soldiers march off to their next adventure, leaving their loved ones behind. The engraving captures the essence of colonialism during the 19th century, a time when European powers expanded their empires across the globe. The image is a poignant reminder of the human cost of colonialism, as families were torn apart and soldiers were sent off to foreign lands to secure and defend their nations' interests. This evocative and historically significant image is a must-have for any collection focusing on colonialism, military history, or European history during the 19th century.
