EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, captures a significant moment in history – Shere Ali Khan dictating his reply to the British Viceroy. The print, part of a private collection and now preserved within the Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection, offers us a window into an era when traditional costumes and uniforms held great significance.
