EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Plan of the Battle of Assaye" an illustration from Cassell's Illustrated History of India by James Grant, published in 1879. The lithograph was created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. The image depicts the historic Battle of Assaye, which took place on September 23,1803. It offers a detailed cartographic representation of the battlefield, highlighting soldier positions and army movements during this significant conflict. The battle itself occurred during the Second Anglo-Maratha War between British forces (represented by troops from the East India Company) and Maratha Empire warriors. Through this engraving, viewers are transported back to a pivotal moment in colonial history when Britain sought to expand its influence in India. The map not only serves as a visual guide but also provides insight into military strategies employed during this era. As we observe this remarkable piece, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates both artistry and historical significance. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity in mapping out complex battles while shedding light on an important chapter in India's past. This print allows us to connect with our shared heritage and gain deeper insights into the soldiers' bravery and sacrifices made on that fateful day at Assaye Battlefield.
