EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history as reinforcements for Canada are being prepared to embark on the Calcutta at Woolwich. The image showcases the careful loading of sledges onto the ship, which will transport essential guns and carriages for the H Battery 4th Battalion Royal Artillery. This scene, depicted by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the military operations of that time. The sheer magnitude of this operation is evident in the bustling activity on board and around the ship. Troopships like the Calcutta played a crucial role in strengthening Canada's defenses during this period. As we delve into this historical print, we can imagine how these reinforcements would have brought hope and security to Canadians residing in North America. The presence of various nationalities represented among those involved adds another layer of interest to this artwork. With references to India and Asia, it highlights not only Britain's global reach but also its reliance on diverse cultures within its military forces. Through this engraving from The Illustrated London News, published on January 11th, 1862, we gain insight into an important chapter in Canadian history while appreciating both artistic skill and historical documentation.
