- Abstract
- One of a collection of 21 mounted original unsigned watercolor and wash drawings. King of Delhi captured and surrounded by soldiers in forest. Bahadur Shah II reigned as the last Mughal emperor. In 1837, Bahadur Shah II succeeded his father, Akbar II. Following the Siege of Delhi, BEIC forces surrounded the tomb of the emperor’s forefather (Humayun) on the outskirts of Delhi and captured Bahadur Shah on September 20. The British subsequently deposed and exiled him to Rangoon in British-controlled Burma.
