EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures a significant moment during the Indian Mutiny. Taken by George Francklin Atkinson in 1901, this image transports us back to a time of intense conflict and historical importance. Delhi, besieged and captured by the British in 1857, held immense symbolic value as it was once the seat of India's Mughal rulers. The city's recapture from mutineers became crucial for the British forces. In this photograph, we witness an exhausted army defending their country against all odds. The composition showcases rows of powerful cannons manned by determined soldiers amidst weary horses. The smoke-filled air hints at the intensity of battle raging around them. Captain George Francklin Atkinson skillfully captures both the physical strain on these brave men and their unwavering determination to protect their homeland. This image is taken from "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts" written by J. Maclaren Cobban in 1901. It immortalizes Field Marshal Frederick Sleigh Roberts, also known as Earl Roberts, who played a pivotal role in leading British forces during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought for power and control over Delhi. It serves as a testament to human resilience and valor amidst adversity—a poignant reminder of our shared history that should never be forgotten or overlooked.
