EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Portraits - 2nd Punjab Cavalry, 1856 circa" offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Indian cavalry during the mid-19th century. Created by Walter Fane and reproduced by J Harris after his work, this print showcases the vibrant costumes and distinctive features of the soldiers. The image depicts members of the 2nd Regiment of Punjab Cavalry, a unit raised by Lieutenant Sam Browne in 1849. Known for their loyalty to the British Empire, these troops played a significant role in various conflicts such as the Indian Mutiny of 1857 and frontier operations with Afghanistan. Intriguingly, this aquatint highlights some unique elements within their attire. The Hindostanee Trooper and Sikh non-commissioned officers are seen wearing sheepskin coats known as poshteens—a characteristic garment from North West Frontier regions. Additionally, an Afghan Native Officer is portrayed on horseback alongside them. Published in 1856 by R Ackermann as part of "Indian Costumes II" this artwork beautifully captures both cultural diversity and military prowess. It serves as a testament to India's contribution to global armed forces while showcasing its distinct identity. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this print not only commemorates historical events but also celebrates Asian ethnicity and heritage. Its vivid portrayal invites viewers to appreciate the bravery and dedication exhibited by these cavalrymen who served under challenging circumstances during that era.
