EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Storming of Khelat, the advance companies, 13th November 1839" takes us back in time to a significant moment during the first Afghan War. This historical event unfolded with great intensity and is beautifully captured by Lieutenant Thomas Wingate in his color lithograph. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the fortified walled city of Kalat in present-day Pakistan. The citadel stands tall and imposing against a backdrop of dramatic storm clouds brewing above. British troops can be seen bravely advancing towards the fortress, their uniforms contrasting vividly against the earthy tones of the landscape. Intriguingly, Baluchi khans join forces with these soldiers as they launch an attack on Khelat. Together, they demonstrate immense courage and determination as they breach the fortifications that guard its walls. Lieutenant Wingate's attention to detail brings this historic moment to life before our very eyes. The composition captures both the grandeur and danger inherent in such military operations. It serves as a testament not only to the bravery of those involved but also to Wingate's artistic skill in immortalizing this pivotal event. This evocative print from Fine Art Finder transports us back through time, allowing us a glimpse into one chapter of history that shaped nations and lives forevermore.
