Fine Art Prints from Heritage Images
The Accession of the Queen of India, 1858
The Accession of the Queen of India, 1858. After the end of the Indian Mutiny, the authority of the East India Company also ended and the Crown, here represented by Queen Victoria, took over the full control of the government of India. The Indian woman shown may well be meant to represent the Rani of Jhansi. She had been one of the foremost rebel leaders, together with Tantia Topi and the Nana Sahib. She had the reputation of fighting like a man, but here, she is brought to her knees before the power and authority of the British Crown. She was killed fighting the British, aged twenty-three. From Punch, or the London Charivari, September 11, 1858

The Accession of the Queen of India, 1858
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and poignant image that captures a significant moment in history. After the Indian Mutiny, the East India Company's rule over India came to an end, and Queen Victoria assumed full control of the government. The print portrays this transition by depicting Queen Victoria as a symbol of British authority and power. The Indian woman featured in the image is believed to represent Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi, one of the prominent rebel leaders during the uprising. Known for her fierce fighting spirit, she fought valiantly against British forces but tragically lost her life at just twenty-three years old. In this portrayal, however, she is depicted on her knees before Queen Victoria's sovereignty—a stark representation of colonial dominance. This black-and-white engraving from Punch magazine showcases not only political dynamics but also cultural symbolism. The juxtaposition between Western royalty and traditional Indian attire highlights both colonialism and resistance within nineteenth-century society. As we gaze upon this heritage image partnership print today, it serves as a reminder of past struggles for independence and self-determination. It prompts us to reflect on how power dynamics shape nations' histories while honoring those who fought bravely against oppression.
