The arrival of the contingent force of the Sikh irregular cavalry, India, c1860
The arrival of the contingent force of the Sikh irregular cavalry, India, c1860. The Indian Rebellion of 1857 began in the town of Meerut and soon erupted into other mutinies and civilian rebellions across many regions of Company-ruled north-central India. The rebellion posed a considerable threat to British power in that region and it was contained only with the fall of Gwalior on 20 June 1858. The rebellion is also often known as the Indian Mutiny, the Sepoy Mutiny, the Great Rebellion, the Revolt of 1857 and occasionally, in India, as the First War of Independence. From The History of the Indian Mutiny, volume VII, by Charles Ball, published by The London Printing & Publishing Company (c1860)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the arrival of the contingent force of the Sikh irregular cavalry in India, around 1860. The image is a powerful reminder of the tumultuous period known as the Indian Rebellion of 1857, which began in Meerut and quickly spread across north-central India. The rebellion, also referred to as the Indian Mutiny or Sepoy Mutiny, posed a significant threat to British power in the region. It was only through intense military efforts that it was eventually contained with the fall of Gwalior on June 20th, 1858. This event marked a turning point in British rule over India. In this photograph, we see brave Sikh cavalrymen mounted on majestic elephants amidst a lush natural landscape. Their presence symbolizes both strength and resilience against foreign domination. The Sikhs played an important role during this rebellion due to their martial traditions and religious beliefs. Charles Ball's engraving beautifully captures this historical moment from his publication "The History of the Indian Mutiny". Through his meticulous attention to detail, he brings forth not only an artistic representation but also a glimpse into one of India's most significant uprisings against colonial rule. This print serves as a poignant reminder of past struggles for independence and highlights how history continues to shape our present-day understanding.
