Delhi had been captured by the rebels on the 11th of May, with a\r\nlot of the civilians inside the city joining the rebel mob. The city was\r\ndetermined to be too well fortified and too strongly held to be attacked\r\novertly, so a siege was devised.The siege lasted from June to September\r\nbefore a frontal assault took place, led by a large bombardment of the\r\ncity. Ultimately the city was re-captured on the 21st of September 1857.\r\nTaken from the original book plates published in 1901. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Collectors postcard - first edition of 90 cards. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Postcard size 6 inches x 4 inches (15cm x 10cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military Aviation Art Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54134778495309,"sku":null,"price":2.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5449\/9149\/files\/2026NEWnbp0077pc.jpg?v=1781873258","url":"https:\/\/militaryaviationartprints.com\/products\/the-siege-of-delhi-1857-by-alfred-pearse-pc","provider":"Military Aviation Art Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
