EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment in the 19th century, showcasing "A Picket, 20th Punjab Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry" on the North West Frontier. Painted by Major General Walter Fane in c. 1868, this oil on canvas artwork is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The painting depicts Subadar Major Jaie Singh and two Pathan Sepoys engaged in conversation while standing guard. Dressed in their traditional colonial-era costumes, these soldiers proudly represent the British Indian Army during the Victorian era. The attention to detail is evident as each soldier's attire showcases their rank and role within the regiment. The scimitar held by Havilday Mir Alum adds an air of authority to his presence. This painting not only serves as a visual representation of military life during that time but also highlights the complex dynamics between British officers and native troops. It offers a glimpse into India's rich history under British rule, known as the Raj period. With its vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes, this artwork transports viewers back to a significant chapter in history when India played a crucial role within Britain's imperial ambitions. A true testament to Major General Walter Fane's artistic talent and dedication to capturing moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
