EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "The Indian Frontier Rising, Lundi Kotal Fort, taken and burned by the Afridis, 24 August" takes us back to a significant event in history. Created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright in 1897, this artwork captures the dramatic moment when the Afridis successfully conquered and set ablaze the formidable Lundi Kotal Fort. With meticulous attention to detail, Wright's engraving showcases the sheer power and determination of these tribal warriors as they overcame the heavily fortified ramparts of the fort. The billowing smoke from its burning towers adds an eerie atmosphere to this scene of triumph and destruction. This historical event took place on August 24th, forever etching itself into memory as a symbol of resistance against colonial powers. Situated on what is now known as Pakistan's Indian frontier, Lundi Kotal Fort stood tall for centuries before succumbing to the might of the Afridis. Wright's illustration was originally published in The Illustrated London News on September 4th, 1897. Its inclusion in this esteemed publication ensured that people across Britain were made aware of this remarkable feat achieved by the Afridis. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of an incredible military victory but also of a complex tapestry woven with tales of bravery and struggle along India's historic frontiers.
