EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print captures the diverse range of individuals that made up the Bombay Army in the late 19th century. The artist, Alfred Crowdy Lovett, skillfully brings to life the various types of soldiers and officers through his colour lithography technique. In this image, we see a multitude of characters representing different ranks and units within the army. From the disciplined corporal of No. 1 Bombay Mountain Battery to the regal native officer of 1st Bombay Grenadiers, each figure exudes their unique presence and role within this military ensemble. The attention to detail is remarkable as Lovett showcases soldiers dressed in full ceremonial attire such as those from 1st Bombay Lancers or donning field marching order like troopers from 5th Bombay Cavalry. Even support personnel like drum majors and trumpeters are featured, highlighting their crucial contributions on and off the battlefield. As we delve into this visual narrative, it becomes evident that Lovett not only aimed to depict these brave men but also shed light on Indian culture itself. Through their uniforms and distinct features, he emphasizes India's rich heritage while capturing an essence of Asian identity. This print serves as a historical document that transports us back in time to witness a snapshot of life within the bustling city of Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay). It reminds us of India's significant contribution to military history while celebrating its cultural diversity.
