Watercolour sketch from life by Captain C R Baugh, 9th Bombay Native Infantry, 1857 circa.
Tantya Tope was a Maratha Brahman and one of the best rebel military leaders during the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859). He eventually assumed command of Nana Sahibs army, but after his defeat at Cawnpore by Sir Colin Campbell on 6 December 1857, he moved to the relief of Jhansi, whose Rani was besieged by the British. Again defeated, he then took his remaining forces into Gwalior alongside the Rani, hoping to overthrow its pro-British ruler. The British defeated the rebels at Kotah-ke-Serai on 17 June. The Rani was killed in this action. Most rebels surrendered or went into hiding, but Tantya managed to dodge the British until April 1859 when he was betrayed and then hanged.); © National Army Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Tantia Topi, the Indian rebel leader of 1857. Created by Captain C. R. Baugh, a member of the 9th Bombay Native Infantry, this watercolour sketch captures the essence and determination of a man who played a significant role during the Indian Mutiny. Tantya Tope, a Maratha Brahman, emerged as one of the most skilled military leaders among the rebels. After assuming command of Nana Sahib's army, he faced defeat at Cawnpore by Sir Colin Campbell in December 1857. Undeterred, he swiftly moved to aid Jhansi's besieged Rani against British forces but was again defeated. Undeterred by setbacks, Tantya joined forces with Jhansi's Rani in Gwalior with hopes to overthrow its pro-British ruler. However, their efforts were crushed when British troops defeated them at Kotah-ke-Serai on June 17th. Tragically, during this battle, the Rani lost her life. While many rebels surrendered or went into hiding after these defeats, Tantya managed to elude capture until April 1859 when betrayal led to his eventual hanging. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of Tantia Topi's unwavering spirit and his relentless fight for independence during one of India's darkest periods under British rule. Preserved within the National Army Museum in London and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection; it offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon history and honor those who fought valiantly for their nation's freedom.
