EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the encampment of British forces during the Expedition against the Malays in Bandar Bahru, Perak, Malaysia, in 1876. The image, created by Major O.H. Nicolls during the Perak War, was later engraved for publication in the Illustrated London News. The scene shows the military camp nestled amidst lush vegetation, with bamboo structures and palm trees in the foreground, and the Residency, a prominent white building, visible in the background. The Expedition against the Malays was a significant military campaign during the late 19th century, with conflicts taking place along the Perak River, particularly at a place called Kota Lama, below the Residency. The British force, commanded by Brigadier-General Ross, encountered unexpected resistance during their attack on the village of Kota Lama. The engagement resulted in the death of Major Hawkins, one sailor, and one sepoy, and left several others wounded, including the surgeon, Mr. Townsend. This evocative print offers a glimpse into the historical context of the Perak War and the challenges faced by the British during their military campaigns in Malaysia. The combination of architectural elements, natural landscapes, and military presence creates a compelling visual narrative of this pivotal moment in the region's history.
