EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the front cover of 'The Graphic', an illustrated weekly newspaper from Britain, dated Saturday, December 19, 1891. The striking image on the cover is titled 'The Fighting near Gilgit on the Northwestern Frontier of India.' This graphic representation offers a glimpse into the turbulent events unfolding during the Hindoostan (India) campaign of the British Raj, specifically the Hunza Nagar campaign. The scene portrays a group of British soldiers, armed and ready for battle, as they march through the rugged terrain of the Himalayas. The men, dressed in their military uniforms, carry rifles and other essential tools such as pickaxes, necessary for navigating the mountainous region. Their determined expressions and focused gaze convey the intensity of the conflict that was taking place on the Northwestern Frontier of the British Empire. The backdrop of the image features the majestic Karakoram mountain range, which adds a sense of grandeur and scale to the scene. The title 'The Great Game' is inscribed at the bottom of the print, hinting at the strategic importance of this region in the larger context of imperialism and the power struggles between various European powers during the Victorian era. This evocative print offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the British Raj and the military campaigns that shaped the colonial landscape of India. It is a poignant reminder of the complexities of the 'Great Game' and the far-reaching impact of imperialism on the global stage.
