EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by William Heysham Overend and published in The Illustrated London News in 1897, this lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this tumultuous era. The image transports us to Shabkadr Fort, situated at the junction of Afghanistan's frontier with India. As we explore its intricate details, our eyes are drawn to the besieged military branches strategically positioned amidst towering peaks and sweeping valleys. From Kohimor Peak to Salarzai Valley, every element showcases the rugged topography that defines this region. Intriguingly, we witness not only panoramic views but also an insight into local culture. The presence of indigenous people adds depth and authenticity to this artwork as it depicts scenes from Mamund Country and Swat Rivers. These glimpses into daily life highlight both the diversity and resilience of Indian society during these challenging times. This print serves as a testament to Overend's artistic prowess in capturing historical events through his engravings. It allows us to delve into a significant period when tensions ran high along borders while celebrating India's rich cultural heritage. As we admire "The Indian Frontier Rising (litho)" let us appreciate its ability to transport us back in time, immersing ourselves in an era where art intertwines with history on paper.
