EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by William Carpenter that takes us back to the tumultuous period of the Indian Mutiny. This historical print showcases members of the 66th Regiment, known as Goorkahs or Gurkhas, proudly donning their traditional attire. Dressed in vibrant and intricately designed garments, these brave soldiers stand tall with unwavering determination etched on their faces. Their national costume reflects both their rich Nepalese heritage and their fierce loyalty to the British Army. The attention to detail in this engraving allows us to appreciate every stitch and fold of their clothing. The significance of this image lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its historical context. The Indian Mutiny was a pivotal moment when tensions between native troops and British rule reached boiling point. The inclusion of this illustration in The Illustrated London News serves as a reminder of the bravery displayed by these Goorkah warriors during such challenging times.
