The Bombay Artillery, c1890 - A Glimpse into the British Military Presence in India
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Bombay Artillery" in all its glory. Created by H Bunnett as a coloured lithographic plate from Walter Richards' book, Her Majesty's Army, Indian and Colonial Forces, this image offers a fascinating insight into the 19th-century British military presence in India. In the foreground stands a proud soldier of the Bombay Artillery regiment, donning an intricate headdress and turban that symbolize his Indian heritage. His military uniform exudes Victorian elegance while hinting at the power dynamics between Britain and its colonies during this era. Behind him lies an array of armaments - cannons and field guns - highlighting the artillery's crucial role in warfare. These weapons serve as potent symbols of both protection and aggression within this historical context. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to every detail captured on paper. The meticulous attention to each element reflects not only artistic skill but also serves as a testament to the significance of documenting such moments for future generations. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when Britain's influence extended far beyond its shores. It reminds us of the complex relationship between conqueror and conquered, shedding light on how history has shaped our present-day world.
