EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a proud Camel-Sowar from the 10th Bengal Lancers, dating back to around 1880. Created by Alexander Henry Hallam Murray and featured in his book "The High-Road of Empire" this image showcases the remarkable bond between man and animal in colonial India. In this outdoor setting, against a backdrop of vibrant blue skies, we witness a side view of the majestic camel carrying its rider. The male Sowar exudes confidence as he sits atop his loyal companion, donning traditional Indian attire with splashes of red. Armed with weapons that symbolize power and authority, he represents both protection and strength. The artist's watercolour technique beautifully brings out every detail - from the intricate profile of the camel to the fine craftsmanship of their swords. This studio shot transports us to an era when warfare was prevalent in Hindoostan (India) during British rule. As we delve into this portrait frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates not only history but also cultural significance. It serves as a testament to the bravery and resilience displayed by individuals like this Sowar who served under the banner of the British Empire. This extraordinary print is more than just an artistic representation; it is a window into an era long gone yet forever imprinted on our collective memory.
