EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Sketches in Chitral" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the remote region of Chitral, Pakistan. The print showcases an array of intricate sketches that were originally published in The Illustrated London News on June 1st, 1895. The image transports us to a time when exploration was at its peak, as British military personnel embarked on the challenging Chitral Expedition. One sketch depicts the imposing Gateway of Mundia Khan, serving as a symbolic entrance into this mysterious land. Another sketch captures the Headman's House, showcasing local architecture and providing insight into daily life in Chitral. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, our eyes are drawn to Mian Kili - a picturesque village nestled amidst breathtaking natural beauty. This engraving beautifully portrays the village against a backdrop of majestic mountains and lush greenery. Through these sketches, we gain not only an appreciation for artistic talent but also an understanding of historical events that unfolded during this period. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece from their private collection, allowing us to marvel at these remarkable illustrations over a century later. This print serves as both a window into history and an invitation to explore the rich cultural heritage of Chitral through art. It is truly a treasure worth cherishing for any enthusiast or collector passionate about discovering hidden gems from our past.
