EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving captures a significant moment in history during the second Anglo-Afghan War. The image depicts Sir Frederick Haines, the Commander-in-Chief, leaving Umballa (now Ambala) for the frontlines of the war in Afghanistan. This powerful illustration was originally published in The Illustrated London News on December 14,1878. Sir Frederick Haines stands tall and resolute as he prepares to embark on his mission. Dressed in military attire, he exudes authority and determination. His departure from Umballa symbolizes the beginning of a challenging journey into unknown territory. The scene is set against a backdrop of Indian culture and landscape. The presence of Indian soldiers emphasizes the collaborative effort between British forces and their Indian counterparts during this conflict. It also highlights India's role as an integral part of Britain's imperial ambitions. This print not only commemorates Sir Frederick Haines' departure but also serves as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by all those involved in this tumultuous chapter of history. It reminds us of the complex dynamics at play during colonial times when nations sought to expand their influence across continents. Preserved within private collections, this engraving continues to be cherished for its historical significance and artistic merit. Its depiction offers viewers a glimpse into an era marked by both triumphs and tragedies, reminding us that even amidst war, there are stories worth remembering and lessons worth learning.
