Execution At Bombay Of A Mutinous Havildar And Sepoy

Execution at Bombay of a Mutinous Havildar of the Native Marines and Sepoy of the 10th Native Infantry, by Blowing from Guns on the Esplanade, in the presence of a large concourse of people, 1857. British justice administered to Indian rebels - illustrated account by '...the Head Master of the Industrial School of Art at Bombay..."Whatever may be thought in England in regard to this mode of punishment, it is known by those well acquainted with the Asiatic character to be quite necessary in a crisis like the present in India. Horrible this punishment certainly is; but let us not forget the horror of the occasions that have made it a duty to administer it; and let us not forget, also, what is certainly true, that the administration of this punishment is controlled by humane and just men - not the less humane, be it remembered, because sternness must now be mingled with their justice".' From "Illustrated London News", 1857. Creator: Unknown. (Photo by The Print Collector/Heritage Images via Getty Images)
