Captain Johnstone, Shah's Service, 1842

Coloured lithograph after Lieutenant Vincent Eyre, Bengal Artillery, 1842 (c).

Eyre and his family were captured by Akbar Khan's forces in January 1842 and spent nearly nine months in captivity, during which time Eyre kept a diary of his experiences and made portraits of many of his fellow prisoners, including Captain Johnstone.

From 'Portraits of the Kabul Prisoners', a set of pre-publication coloured lithographs later published by John Murray in 1843.
