British and native infantry engage in drill on the flood plain, while a force of native cavalry appears on the edge of their training ground. Fort St George was established in 1639 as a defended trading post for the East India Companys spice trade. The company wanted a port closer to the Malaccan Straits than its first settlement of Surat (situated on the west coast of India). The city of Madras (Chennai) would not have evolved without the establishment of the fortress.); © National Army Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment in 1786, showcasing British infantry, native infantry, and native cavalry engaged in rigorous drilling exercises outside Fort St George in Madras. Painted by Johann Jacob Ludewig Rothmeyer, a member of the 15th Hannover Regiment, this watercolor beautifully depicts the scene with vibrant colors and meticulous detail. In this artwork, we witness British and native infantry soldiers diligently practicing their drills on the flood plain while a contingent of native cavalry stands poised at the edge of their training ground. The significance of Fort St George cannot be overstated as it was established in 1639 as a fortified trading post for the East India Company's lucrative spice trade. Without its establishment, the city of Madras (now Chennai) would not have flourished into what it is today. The composition exudes an air of discipline and unity among these diverse military forces. It serves as a testament to the complex dynamics that existed during colonial times when European powers sought to maintain control over vast territories through alliances with local troops. This remarkable image offers us a glimpse into history and reminds us of the profound impact that colonialism had on shaping nations and cultures around the world. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and an important historical document preserved by London's National Army Museum.
