EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the Troop-Ships Orontes, Jumna, Malabar, and Euphrates at Bombay, eagerly waiting to bring home troops from the Afghan War. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a significant moment in history. The ships stand tall against the backdrop of Bombay's bustling harbor, their majestic presence symbolizing hope and relief for weary soldiers returning from battle. The scene is filled with anticipation as families and loved ones gather onshore to welcome back their brave heroes. The composition beautifully highlights the maritime atmosphere of Bombay, with its vibrant colors and lively activity. The city's rich Indian heritage is evident through its architecture and diverse population depicted in the image. This engraving serves as a testament to India's pivotal role during this period of conflict. Published in The Illustrated London News on November 27th, 1880, this artwork provides a glimpse into an era when news was primarily disseminated through illustrations rather than photographs. It encapsulates both historical significance and artistic excellence. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history within their private collection. Through Fine Art Finder's platform, viewers can now appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also gain insight into a crucial chapter in Anglo-Afghan relations during that time.
