EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "From the Hills, Baluchistan" takes us back to the early 20th century in British India. The image, a colour lithograph by Mortimer Ludington Menpes, captures the essence of Baluchistan's hilly landscape and its rich Indian culture. The artwork was originally created as an illustration for "The Durbar" a book written by Dorothy Menpes and illustrated by Mortimer Menpes. Published in 1903 by A&C Black, this book commemorated the grand durbar held that same year to celebrate Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark's ascension as Emperor and Empress of India. In this scene, we are transported to the hills of Baluchistan, where lush greenery meets majestic mountains. The artist skillfully portrays the beauty and serenity of this region through vibrant colours and intricate details. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel ourselves standing amidst these hills, taking in their awe-inspiring presence. This artwork not only showcases the natural splendor of Baluchistan but also serves as a testament to India's imperial history under British rule. It reminds us of the diverse cultures that coexisted within the vastness of Asia during that time. Through this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are given a glimpse into both historical events and artistic mastery. It is a visual treasure that allows us to appreciate both the beauty of nature and humanity's ability to capture it on canvas or lithograph for
