EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "General Wolseley's Expedition against the Tsawbwa of Wuntho, Upper Burma" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the intensity and grandeur of General Wolseley's military campaign. The scene depicted is filled with action and drama. In the foreground, we witness a fortified stockade where prisoners are being held captive after their capture by General Wolseley's forces. The meticulous attention to detail allows us to observe the preparations taking place within Major Smythe's column as they strategize their next move against the formidable Tsawbwa of Wuntho. The topography surrounding this interior setting adds depth and realism to the artwork. We can almost feel ourselves transported into this distant land as we admire the rugged terrain leading up to Nankin Pass. The vastness of sea visible in the background reminds us that this expedition took place far away from home - in exotic Burma. This engraving was originally published on April 18,1891, as an illustration for The Graphic magazine. It provides a glimpse into a crucial chapter in history when General Wolseley led his troops through Upper Burma on a mission to capture and subdue powerful adversaries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its ability to transport us back in time and immerse ourselves
