EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Crisis in the East, Native Indian Troops now on the Way to Malta" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Harry Hamilton Johnston and published in The Graphic on May 18,1878, this illustration offers a glimpse into the unfolding crisis of that time. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a bustling camp known as Bhisli. A diverse array of troops from various regions of India has gathered here before embarking on their journey to Malta. The composition is rich with cultural diversity as soldiers representing different backgrounds stand side by side. The artist skillfully captures the essence of unity among these native Indian troops who have come together for a common cause. Among them are members of Bengal cavalry, Sikh warriors, Rajpoots, Mussulmans, Goorkhas, Pathans - each proudly displaying their unique attire and weaponry. As they pause during their march towards Europe's distant shores, one soldier can be seen carrying water for his comrades - symbolizing both practicality and camaraderie within this multinational force. "The Crisis in the East" serves as an important reminder of historical events that shaped our world today. It highlights not only the bravery and resilience displayed by these native Indian troops but also sheds light on the complex dynamics between European powers and colonies during that era. This print transports us back in time while inviting contemplation about colonialism's impact and how cultures intertwine even amidst times of crisis.
