EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Empress of India Medal awarded to Sergeant Major J Pepper, a distinguished member of the 3rd (The East Kent) Regiment of Foot (The Buffs), in 1877. The medal, beautifully crafted and adorned with intricate details, is a testament to Sergeant Major Pepper's exceptional service and dedication. Presented by Major J T R Prestige TD, this prestigious award commemorates Queen Victoria assuming the title Empress of India on January 1st, 1877. It holds great significance as it was bestowed upon Indian aristocrats, British officials of the Raj, and one deserving soldier from each British and Indian regiment in India. In this image captured by the talented British School artist from the 19th century and preserved at London's National Army Museum, we witness a momentous ceremony where Sergeant Major Pepper receives his well-deserved recognition. The atmosphere is filled with grandeur and symbolism as royalty mingles with military personnel. This photograph not only captures an important historical event but also represents imperialism and ideology prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder of Britain's influence over its colonies and their desire to maintain control through ceremonial displays such as these.
