EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Brigadier-General Sir Percy Molesworth Sykes, a man of many talents and accomplishments. Standing tall in his military uniform adorned with medals, he exudes an air of authority and valor. His neatly groomed moustache adds to his commanding presence. Sir Percy Molesworth Sykes was not just a soldier; he was also a diplomat, scholar, traveler, explorer, and writer. Known for his extensive journeys through Persia and Baluchistan, he left an indelible mark on the history of these regions. His notable works include "Ten Thousand Miles in Persia" "History of Persia" and "History of Afghanistan". In this three-quarter length portrait captured by Maull & Fox during the mid-19th century, Sir Percy's decorated military career is evident. The sword at his side serves as a reminder of his bravery on the battlefield. Beyond his military achievements lies a man with insatiable curiosity about Asia and the Middle East. With each exploration came new insights into different cultures and societies that he eagerly shared through his writings. This print offers us a glimpse into the life of an extraordinary individual who dedicated himself to both serving his country and expanding our understanding of distant lands. It stands as a testament to Sir Percy's multifaceted legacy as well as an ode to adventure itself.
