EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Corps present at the Siege and Assault of Delhi, 1857,1911" by Alfred Crowdy Lovett takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases a group of brave soldiers standing around the statue of John Nicholson, an army officer who lost his life during the siege. These soldiers represent various corps that were involved in the intense conflict during the Indian Mutiny. The painting beautifully captures the diversity within the British Empire's military forces stationed in India. We see Indian soldiers proudly donning their traditional turbans alongside their British counterparts wearing military uniforms. This juxtaposition symbolizes unity and cooperation between different cultures under one cause. Lovett's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays each soldier with precision and authenticity. Their stoic expressions reflect both determination and resilience amidst challenging circumstances.

It stands as a tribute to those who fought bravely during this tumultuous period in India's past.
