EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Captain Hodson Arresting the King of Delhi, c1891" takes us back to a significant event in history. The image captures the intense moment when Captain Hodson apprehended Bahadur Shah II, also known as Zafar, the last Mughal emperor of India. In this photograph from the late 19th century, we witness a powerful scene unfold. Captain William Stephen Raikes Hodson stands tall and resolute, dressed in his military uniform representing British authority. With determination etched on his face, he arrests Bahadur Shah II, who is seen wearing traditional attire befitting an emperor. This arresting image not only depicts a historical event but also symbolizes the dominance of British colonialism over India during that era. It serves as a reminder of the power dynamics between Britain and its colonies in Asia. James Grant's illustration brings this pivotal moment to life with meticulous detail and precision. Through his work, we are transported to Delhi, where this dramatic encounter took place amidst political turmoil and rebellion during the Great Sepoy Rebellion of 1857. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print from Cassells Illustrated History of India Vol. II. , it prompts us to reflect on the complexities of imperialism and its impact on nations across continents like Asia.
