EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the vibrant and diverse atmosphere of the Rawul Pindi Durbar in 1885. The image showcases a series of sketches, each depicting different aspects of this historical event. At the forefront, we see the grand entrance to the tent belonging to the esteemed Rajah of Bhawulpore, exuding regality and opulence. Moving further into the scene, our eyes are drawn to a Punjaub Infantry regiment crossing the Jhelum ferry with their baggage carts. This moment perfectly encapsulates both military strength and logistical prowess. The Viceroys Camp at Rawul Pindi stands tall in all its glory, serving as a testament to British colonial influence during that era. Surrounding it are various infantry troops from different regions such as Rajahs of Nabhas and Jheend, showcasing their distinctive uniforms and weaponry. Adding an element of musical flair is a bandsman from Rajah of Jheend's troops playing traditional instruments while nearby; we catch sight of bagpipes played by none other than Rajah Chumba himself. Amongst these vivid depictions are also glimpses into individual soldiers' lives - a Sikh soldier from Punjaub Infantry proudly representing his heritage and an infantry colonel commanding Maharajah Puttiala's forces with authority. Overall, this engraving offers us a captivating glimpse into 19th-century Pakistan's rich cultural tapestry through its illustrative technique and retro styling. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and valuable historical documentation for enthusiasts today.
