By a Turkish artist, 1830.
Each drawing inscribed on front in ink with rank in English and Persian.
Water-colour and ink; 1828 watermark; 228 by 188 mms.
Received by the East India Company, 1830. Transferred from the India Office Records (L/P& S/9/77).
Note: In 1828, at the Pasha’s request, the Court of Directors of the East India Company directed Major Robert Taylor, Political Agent Baghdad and Basra, to assist in the improvement and modernisation of the Baghdad Guards. This was the oldest regiment in the Pashalic. The task of drilling and reorganisation was carried out under Taylor’s supervision by the Residency Guard, by an unnamed British officer in the Pasha’s service and by Taylor’s son, Lieutenant Robert Taylor of the Madras Cavalry, who happened to be on leave in Baghdad at that time. The regiment was 500 strong, formed the Pasha’s bodyguard and was responsible for guarding the citadel, treasury, arsenal, and palace in Baghdad. The drawings were sent to the Secret Committee of the East India Company in London, wrapped in a paper inscribed: ‘Costume of the Baghdad Guards. In Major Taylor’s letter of 14th July, 1830. Received pr post 28th October 1830.’.
