EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Black Mountain Expedition (engraving)" by the English School in the 19th century. The engraving, part of a private collection, was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on November 24,1888. The image captures a significant moment during the expedition, which took place in the rugged terrain of the Black Mountain region in present-day Pakistan. In this fourth column capture, members of the 29th Punjaub Infantry are seen advancing towards a destroyed village called Kotkai. This stronghold had been held by hostile tribes that posed a threat to British interests. The topography is beautifully depicted in this engraving, showcasing both the challenging landscape and the determination of these military forces. The soldiers can be seen navigating through rocky paths and dense vegetation as they secure their position. "The Black Mountain Expedition" serves as a testament to colonial-era conflicts and imperial ambitions prevalent during that time period. It highlights not only military prowess but also explores themes such as conquest and control over foreign territories. Through this historical artwork captured by Bridgeman Images, we gain insight into an important chapter in history when expeditions like these were undertaken to maintain dominance over regions deemed strategically vital for various reasons.
