EDITORS COMMENTS
This tinted lithograph, titled 'The Wild Pass of Siri-Kajoor,' is an exquisite representation of one of the treacherous routes traversed by the British and Indian troops of the Army of the Indus during their campaign in Afghanistan between 1838 and 1842. The print, taken from the bound volume 'Sketches in Afghanistan,' was created by Louis and Charles Haghe after the original sketches of James Atkinson. As the troops made their way along the narrow passes between the towering ridges of Baluchistan, they were constantly at risk of ambush from the Baluchi tribes, who concealed themselves in dens within the ravines. Skirmishes and sniping attacks were common occurrences, making the journey through these passes a perilous endeavor. The intricate details of the lithograph capture the rugged terrain, with its steep cliffs, winding paths, and rocky outcroppings. The vivid tinting brings the landscape to life, highlighting the stark contrasts between the sun-scorched rocks and the lush vegetation that clings to the precipices. This stunning work of art is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Haghe brothers and James Atkinson, who managed to capture the raw beauty and danger of the Afghan landscape during a time of conflict. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by the soldiers who braved the wild passes of Siri-Kajoor in the pursuit of their objectives. Dated 1842, this lithograph is a valuable historical record of a significant period in the history of Afghanistan and the British Empire. It is a must-have for any collection focused on military history, South Asian art, or the history of exploration and travel.
