EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ashley Eden forced by the Bhutonese to sign the treaty" captures a significant moment in history. The image showcases Ashley Eden, an Englishman, being compelled by the Bhutanese people to sign a treaty. Created as a colour lithograph by Arthur David McCormick, this artwork is part of the private collection and represents an era of imperial romance. The scene depicted in this print portrays tension and hostility between two nations. British soldiers can be seen standing guard with their weapons while Ashley Eden reluctantly signs the treaty under duress. This historical event took place in the Himalayas during colonial India's reign. The photograph invites viewers to reflect on themes such as power dynamics, resistance, and diplomacy. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures clashed during times of imperialism and highlights the struggles faced by both sides involved. This artwork holds immense historical significance as it documents an important chapter in Bhutan's relationship with British India. Its inclusion in T C & E C Jack's 1920s publication "Romance of Empire: India" further solidifies its importance within academic circles. As we observe this image today, let us remember that it symbolizes not only a battle for control but also serves as a testament to human resilience amidst political turmoil.
