EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical artifact - a letter written by Robert Clive, also known as Clive of India, to Thomas Pelham-Holles on the 23rd of February in 1757. The artist himself, Robert Clive, is the creator of this remarkable piece. The letter holds immense importance as it reports major events that unfolded during that time period. It describes Calcutta's recovery and Lt-Colonel Clive's triumph over the army of Nawab Suraj-Dowlah on the outskirts. Additionally, it highlights the conclusion of peace and an alliance between forces. Displayed in vibrant color, this print brings to life not only the physical appearance but also captures the essence and significance behind each stroke of handwriting within this manuscript from near Calcutta. As we delve into history through this image, we are transported back to 18th-century colonial India where imperialism was prevalent. This visual representation symbolizes both war and peace while shedding light on British military presence in Hindoostan (India). The location itself adds depth to our understanding of these historical events. Preserved meticulously within the Department of Manuscripts at the British Museum, this facsimile serves as a testament to our rich past and allows us to appreciate Lord Clive's role in shaping history. Let us cherish this glimpse into an era defined by conflict and diplomacy while acknowledging its impact on our present-day world.
