EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches at the Rawul Pindi Durbar" takes us back to a vibrant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the grandeur and diversity of colonial India. The scene is bustling with activity as various figures cross paths amidst a backdrop of military tents and carts. The entrance to the durbar is adorned with intricate designs, hinting at the opulence that awaits inside. Soldiers from different regiments stand tall, their uniforms representing their respective regions. Notable personalities make appearances throughout the composition: the Rajahs of Bhawulpore, Jheend, Nabhas, Chumbas, and Puttiala are all present alongside their infantry units. Each rajah brings his own unique flair to this gathering; one can spot bagpipes played by Colonel Rajah of Chumbas' band while others showcase traditional Sikh attire. Intriguingly enough, we catch sight of a ferry crossing over River Jhelum nearby—a reminder that life continues beyond these ceremonial proceedings. Baggage and supplies are being transported across as troops maintain order around them. Through this engraving's meticulous details and rich historical context, it becomes clear that events like the Rawul Pindi Durbar were not only significant political gatherings but also opportunities for cultural exchange between British colonizers and Indian rulers. This artwork serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and an invitation to explore further into this
