EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Indian Frontier Rising, View of the Tor Ghar Range, from Fort Bara, showing the Position of the Sapri (Ghuzdarra) Pass" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by William Barnes Wollen in 1898 for The Illustrated London News, this print offers a glimpse into the intense Tirah Campaign during British rule in India. The image transports us to Fort Bara, where we stand on its ramparts overlooking the majestic Tor Ghar Range. In the distance lies the strategically important Sapri (Ghuzdarra) Pass. With meticulous detail and precision, Wollen's engraving captures not only the grandeur of nature but also highlights military fortifications that dot this rugged landscape. As our eyes wander through this scene frozen in time, we can almost feel ourselves immersed in an era filled with tension and conflict. This print serves as a testament to General Symons' efforts during his campaign against local tribesmen who sought independence from British control. Preserved within a private collection today, this lithograph reminds us of how art can transport us to pivotal moments in history. It invites contemplation about colonialism's impact on regions like Pakistan while showcasing Wollen's artistic prowess and attention to historical accuracy. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers have access to this remarkable piece that encapsulates both beauty and historical significance.
