EDITORS COMMENTS
The Opening into the Narrow Pass Above the Siri Bolan: A Glimpse into Afghanistan's Treacherous Terrain". This photo print, titled "The Opening into the Narrow Pass Above the Siri Bolan" takes us on a visual journey through the rugged and perilous landscape of Afghanistan. Engraved by Charles Haghe and Louis Haghe in 1842, this colour lithograph showcases the artistic brilliance of James Atkinson. In this scene, we witness a dramatic moment during an ambush in the Afghan War. The cliff face looms above as a rearguard cavalry unit finds themselves under attack from Beloochees warriors. With rifles blazing and bullets flying, soldiers valiantly defend their position against overwhelming odds. The rocky mountain range serves as both a natural barrier and strategic advantage for those seeking to control these treacherous lands. Horses gallop with determination, carrying troops clad in turbans as they engage in fierce combat amidst this unforgiving terrain. This image not only captures the intensity of battle but also highlights the resilience and bravery of those who fought on both sides. It offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of the sacrifices made by soldiers during times of conflict. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed within a private collection, this artwork allows us to appreciate Atkinson's skillful depiction of animals amidst war-torn landscapes. Let it serve as a poignant reminder that even amidst chaos, beauty can be found in unexpected places.
