EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a short-frogged jacket worn by Captain John Grant Malcolmson, VC, of the 3 Bombay Light Cavalry around 1860. The fabric of this exquisite piece is beautifully preserved and displayed at the National Army Museum in London. Captain Malcolmson's remarkable achievements are intertwined with this historic garment. He earned the prestigious Victoria Cross (VC) in 1857 for his heroic actions during the Battle of Koosh-ab in the Persian War of 1856-57. Serving as a Lieutenant in the 3rd Regiment of Bombay Light Cavalry, he led a charge that successfully broke through a square formation of highly trained Persian infantry. The significance of this jacket is further highlighted by its appearance in an iconic full-length portrait painted by Louis William Desanges, which can be found within the collection at the National Army Museum. This painting immortalizes Captain Malcolmson and his gallant service to his country. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when bravery and honor were paramount on battlefields far from home. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of Captain Malcolmson's individual valor but also pays homage to all those who have fought selflessly for their nations throughout history. Bridgeman Images has captured not just an artifact but also an emblematic representation of courage and sacrifice that resonates across generations.
