EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print titled "The Battle of Sobraon 10 February 1846" depicts a significant moment in history during the 1st Anglo-Sikh War. Created by John Harris the Younger after Henry Martens, and published by Rudolph Ackermann in January 1848, this artwork showcases the intense clash between the East India Company and the Sikh Khalsa Army of the Sikh Empire of Punjab. In this final battle, which took place on February 10th, 1846, both sides suffered severe casualties. The image portrays soldiers from the British forces - including members of the renowned 31st (Huntingdonshire) Regiment of Foot and the 50th (Queens Own) Regiment of Foot - advancing towards their Sikh opponents who fought valiantly with their backs against River Sutlej. The scene captures not only the intensity but also highlights elements such as arms, artillery, and military strategy employed during this historic conflict. It serves as a reminder of Britain's imperial presence in India at that time and its impact on colonialism. This print is an important historical document that sheds light on a critical event in British-Indian relations. Preserved within private collections today, it offers viewers an opportunity to delve into this chapter of history where imperialism clashed with local resistance.
