EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Captain Hugh Johnson, a distinguished member of the 26th Bengal Native Infantry during the mid-19th century. This miniature portrait on ivory, painted by Jivan Ram in Delhi, India around 1840, captures the essence of Captain Johnson's character and military prowess. Captain Hugh Johnson began his career as an ensign in March 1824 and quickly rose through the ranks to become a lieutenant in 1825 and eventually a captain in 1837. His dedication and skills led him to serve in various important roles within the British Indian Army. During the tumultuous period of the First Afghan War (1838-1842), Captain Johnson played a significant role in history. He participated valiantly in the Battle of Ghazni in 1839 but faced adversity when he was taken hostage by Afghan Chief Akbar Khan during the Kabul Insurrection on January 11,1842. Fortunately, he regained his freedom later that year. Despite facing such challenges throughout his career, Captain Hugh Johnson's commitment to duty remained unwavering. After retiring with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in 1850, he left behind an indelible mark on both British military history and colonial India. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Captain Hugh Johnson's bravery and resilience amidst turbulent times. It offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary individual who dedicated his life to serving his country with honor and distinction.
