EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait captures the essence of Major Frederick Robertson Aikman, VC, a distinguished officer of the 4th Bengal Native Infantry during the mid-19th century. Painted in oil on canvas by Captain I. A. Goldingham around 1860, this remarkable piece is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. Major Aikman's presence is commanding as he gazes confidently into the distance. His bust and moustache add to his authoritative aura, while his military uniform proudly displays his achievements and rank. The oval-shaped medal hanging from his chest signifies his esteemed Victoria Cross recipient status – an honor bestowed upon him for acts of exceptional bravery during combat. Set against a gilt frame, this ornate painting showcases not only Major Aikman's decorated career but also serves as a testament to British colonial history and its involvement in India during that era. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail, highlighting both the decorative elements of Major Aikman's attire and the sculptural quality of his features. This artwork stands as a timeless tribute to Major Frederick Robertson Aikman's courage and dedication to duty. It serves as a reminder of those who have selflessly served their country with valor throughout history.
