EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mess of the Prince of Waless own Goorkhas, 1878" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Russo-Turkish War. The image showcases a bustling camp scene in Malta, where soldiers from the renowned Gurkha regiment are seen enjoying their mealtime off duty. The composition is filled with intriguing details that offer a glimpse into the daily lives of these Indian-origin troops. Tents dotting the landscape create an atmosphere of camaraderie and shelter as they gather together for sustenance. A makeshift kitchen can be observed at one end, emitting tantalizing aromas that surely whet their appetites. The soldiers themselves exude both strength and humility as they sit on wooden crates or cross-legged on the ground, savoring their well-deserved meals. This illustration beautifully captures not only their physical nourishment but also their shared bond and resilience amidst challenging times. As we delve deeper into this historical piece, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a simple dining scene; it symbolizes unity and cultural diversity within military ranks. The presence of British royalty in the title further emphasizes its significance as an embodiment of loyalty between nations. Preserved by Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this print serves as a testament to our collective past while reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who served before us. It stands as an enduring tribute to these brave soldiers who found solace and strength through food
