'Nicholson Leading the Attack Through Delhi Streets', 1857, (1901). Delhi was besieged and captured by the British in 1857 during the Indian Mutiny. The capture of the city from the mutineers was vital to the British due to its symbolic importance as the seat of India's Mughal rulers. British soldier John Nicholson played a noted part in the suppression of the Mutiny, devising particularly cruel punishments for the supposed mutineers. He died aged 35 as a result of wounds received in the taking of Delhi. From "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts, Vol. I. - To The End of the Indian Mutiny", by J. Maclaren Cobban. [T. C. & E. C. Jack, Edinburgh, 1901]
