EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Impending Afghan War, Entrance to the Bolan Pass, from Dadur" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the topography and atmosphere of the region during that time. At first glance, one is struck by the sheer grandeur of the Bolan Pass entrance. The rugged mountains rise majestically on either side, creating a formidable gateway into unknown territory. As we delve deeper into the image, our eyes are drawn to a group of vultures soaring above. Their presence adds an eerie touch and serves as a reminder of impending danger. The geology depicted here is awe-inspiring; every crevice and rock formation tells its own story. It's as if nature itself has carved out this path for future events to unfold. This artwork not only captures physical landscapes but also hints at political tensions brewing beneath the surface. "The Impending Afghan War" refers to historical context surrounding British involvement in Afghanistan during that period. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on October 12th, 1878 – providing readers with visual insight into what lay ahead. As we contemplate this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection today, it serves as both a testament to artistic skill and a window into past conflicts that shaped our world.
