EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Thackwell at Sobraon" takes us back in time to the historical Battle of Sobraon, fought on February 10th, 1846. Illustrated by F. Goodall and published in Cassells Illustrated History of England around 1910, this lithograph by William Barnes Wollen captures the intensity and chaos of the decisive battle between the British East India Company and the Sikh Khalsa Army. In this scene, we witness a fierce clash between soldiers on horseback charging towards each other with swords drawn. The air is thick with smoke as flames engulf parts of the battlefield. Turbans can be seen amidst the chaos, representing both sides engaged in combat. The image portrays a pivotal moment where Thackwell leads his troops into action against their Sikh adversaries. It showcases not only the military engagement but also highlights elements of colonialism and conflict during that era. With its dynamic composition and attention to detail, this engraving transports us into a world filled with adrenaline-fueled confrontations and desperate struggles for dominance. It serves as a powerful reminder of history's defining moments when nations clashed for power and control. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both its artistic value as well as its historical significance within our collective memory.
