National Army Museum description:

Patrick Vans Agnew (1822-1848) was an East India Company official sent to the Sikh city of Multan (now in Pakistan) in April 1848 to oversee the transfer of governorship of the city to Sirdar Khan Singh. However, on arriving at the city, Agnew and his associate, Lieutenant William Anderson, were murdered by an angry mob. Agnew's corpse was decapitated and his head returned to the British by Multan's rebellious governor Mul Raj. These murders sparked off rebellion against British rule and so triggered the 2nd Anglo-Sikh War. McCosh photographed Agnew at Ferezopore (Firozpur) before he left for his posting at Lahore on 31 March 1848, little knowing the grim fate that awaited him. The poor quality of the image indicates what a haphazard business photography was at this time.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
