Departure from Gravesend of Troops for India, 1858" is an evocative and historically significant photograph from the 19th century, capturing the moment of departure of British troops for India aboard the Eastern Monarch, a newly built clipper ship. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1858, documents the bustling activity of Gravesend, Kent, England, as several large embarkations of troops for India and China took place. The Eastern Monarch, hailed as one of the most beautiful vessels ever built, set sail with 800 men on board, all in high spirits as they waved and cheered, greeted by the numerous passenger vessels they encountered in the Thames River. The print, which showcases the elegance of the clipper ship against the backdrop of the river and the industrial landscape of Gravesend, offers a glimpse into the patriotic fervor and the logistical efforts involved in transporting troops during this era of naval warfare and colonial expansion.
