EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases the saddles and pads utilized by the Abyssinian Field Force during their expedition in 1868. The image, created by Henry James and now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the military equipment employed by the British army during this historical campaign. The intricate details of each saddle and pad are beautifully captured, revealing various styles used by different regions. From Hungarian saddles to Punjab and Bombay patterns, these diverse pieces reflect the global nature of this expedition. The assortment also includes pads specifically designed for mules, donkeys, pack horses, and other beasts of burden that played crucial roles in transporting supplies across challenging terrains. This lithograph not only serves as an artistic representation but also provides valuable insight into the practical aspects of military operations during that era. It highlights how meticulous planning was required to ensure soldiers had appropriate tack and kit for their mounts while navigating unfamiliar territories. As we admire this print today, it reminds us of the dedication and resourcefulness exhibited by those involved in the Abyssinian expedition. Their commitment to equipping themselves with suitable gear demonstrates their determination to overcome obstacles encountered on foreign soil. Thanks to Fine Art Finder's preservation efforts, we can appreciate this piece from history without commercial constraints or limitations on its use.
