Caption: "Four Recruits in White Dhotis, page from the Fraser Album - A Glimpse into 19th Century Indian Military Recruitment". This print showcases a page from the renowned Fraser Album, created by the Company School during the early 19th century. The artwork depicts four recruits dressed in traditional white dhotis, providing us with a fascinating glimpse into India's military recruitment practices of that era. The recruits stand proudly before us, their bare chests adorned with decorative jewelry and turbans adorning their heads. Each man carries a spear as a symbol of their warrior status and commitment to protect their country. Their semi-dressed attire reflects both practicality and cultural significance. Opaque watercolor on paper brings this historical scene to life, capturing every intricate detail of clothing and weaponry. The artist's identity remains unknown but has skillfully portrayed these soldiers' strength and determination through his brushstrokes. This artwork not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also holds immense historical value. It offers insight into Haryana's rich heritage art and its contribution to warfare in Hindoostan (India). The vibrant colors used highlight the beauty of traditional costumes worn by these brave men who dedicated themselves to serve their nation. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this piece stands as a testament to Asia's diverse arts while honoring those who have fought for freedom throughout history. "
