EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Lying In Wait" we are transported back to the intense days of the Siege of Lucknow during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. A British soldier, concealed in a hidden spot, patiently awaits rebels attempting to tunnel their way into the Residency. This remarkable illustration from Sketches and Incidents of the Siege of Lucknow showcases Lieutenant Clifford Henry Mecham's drawings made during this tumultuous time. The soldier is depicted sitting in a covert position underground, his hat pulled low over his eyes as he keeps a watchful eye on his surroundings. Armed with a spade, handgun, and rifle nearby, he remains prepared for any sudden encounter. The tension is palpable as he embodies both determination and caution. Through Spencer Arnold's lens, we gain insight into the courage and resourcefulness displayed by these soldiers amidst chaos and danger. The composition beautifully captures not only the physicality but also the mental fortitude required to face such adversity. This print serves as an enduring testament to those who fought valiantly during one of history's most significant uprisings. It reminds us that even in times of great turmoil, individuals can rise above challenges through unwavering dedication and strategic thinking.
