EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Nawab Siraj Ud Daulahs artillery on its movable platform, India, 1757" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1893, it depicts the scene of the Battle of Plassey in 1757. In this artwork, we see the British army led by Commander Robert Clive facing off against the forces of Nawab Siraj Ud Daulah. The composition is filled with action and tension as soldiers maneuver cannons mounted on movable platforms pulled by elephants and oxen. Sandbags are strategically placed for protection while soldiers stand ready for combat. This image captures not only the military aspect but also provides glimpses into Indian culture at that time. The men wear traditional turbans and headdresses, representing their identity and allegiance. It serves as a reminder of colonialism during the 18th and 19th centuries when Britain sought to expand its empire through trade and control over other countries. "The Nawab Siraj Ud Daulahs artillery on its movable platform" serves as a historical document showcasing an important event that shaped India's future under British rule. Through this print, we can reflect upon the complexities of power dynamics between nations during this period of global exploration and conquest.
