EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Capture of Moultan" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Second Anglo-Sikh War. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving showcases the intense military action that unfolded on January 2,1849. The scene depicted is filled with chaos and bravery as soldiers from the 1st Bombay European Fusiliers storm through the streets of Moultan (now Multan), Pakistan. The sketch beautifully captures the atmosphere of war, with smoke billowing from cannons and muskets firing amidst crumbling buildings. One cannot help but be drawn into this historical event, witnessing firsthand how these courageous soldiers breached the city's defenses and captured Moultan. The Great Bazaar stands witness to this dramatic capture, its bustling streets now transformed into a battleground. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of India's rich cultural heritage and its complex history. This image serves as a testament to both Indian resilience and British imperialism during that era. Bridgeman Images has done an exceptional job preserving this piece of art for future generations to appreciate. Through their efforts, we can delve into moments like these that shaped nations and explore diverse perspectives on our shared past.
