Eastward Ho!, pub, 16th July 1902 - A Captivating Encounter
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph print titled "Eastward Ho!", we are transported back to the historic moment of July 16th, 1902. The artwork, created by Bernard John Partridge (1861-1945), depicts a significant meeting between Britannia and Lord Kitchener (1850-1916) in India. The image showcases Britannia introducing India to Lord Kitchener, who was appointed as the British army commander in India during that time. With Indian ink over pencil on board, Partridge skillfully captures the essence of this encounter through his artistic mastery. Lord Kitchener's presence is dignified and commanding as he stands tall in his military uniform. On the other hand, Britannia exudes grace and elegance while wearing traditional Indian attire - a stunning sari. This fusion of cultures symbolizes the introduction of British influence into India's rich heritage. The trident held by Britannia signifies her power and authority while also representing her connection to the sea. Alongside them stands a native figure dressed in traditional costume, adding depth to this historical tableau. This remarkable piece not only portrays an important moment but also hints at the changes sought by Lord Kitchener for better administration within India. It serves as a reminder of Britain's colonial past while showcasing Partridge's talent for capturing both realism and symbolism within his work. Displayed here from a private collection courtesy
