EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Indian Frontier Rising, Occupation of the Khyber, View at the Lower End of Ali Musjid Gorge" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Amedee Forestier and published in The Illustrated London News on February 26th, 1898, this print offers a glimpse into the turbulent times of the Tirah Campaign. The scene depicted showcases the breathtaking topography of Pakistan's Khyber region. At the lower end of Ali Musjid Gorge, we witness an awe-inspiring landscape that stretches as far as the eye can see. The rugged cliffs and deep valleys create a sense of both grandeur and isolation. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of the historical context surrounding it. This lithograph captures a crucial event during British India's efforts to secure its northwestern frontier against tribal uprisings. The occupation portrayed here symbolizes their determination to maintain control over these strategic territories. Forestier's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; he masterfully brings life to this engraving with his skillful use of light and shadow. Through his artistry, he transports us back in time and allows us to experience firsthand the challenges faced by those who ventured into these treacherous lands. In this private collection print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder series, viewers have an opportunity not only to appreciate Forestier's talent but also gain insight into an important chapter in world history –
