EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Opening up the Trade Route to Chitral, Completion of the Road over the Malakand Pass" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a significant moment in history. The image showcases an English School's illustration for The Graphic, dated October 17,1896. The scene depicts a rugged mountainous landscape with trackless hills and an imposing pass known as Malakand. In this remote region of Pakistan, progress is being made as workers laboriously construct a road that will connect Chitral and Chakdara. This monumental feat promises to open up new trade routes and facilitate commerce between these two regions. The artist skillfully captures the arduous nature of this endeavor by showcasing men working diligently to complete not only roads but also tunnels through rocky terrain. Their determination is evident as they navigate through challenging conditions in order to bring about connectivity and economic growth. This engraving serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in conquering seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It reminds us of our ability to overcome barriers and forge paths where none existed before. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time, marveling at the visionaries who paved the way for progress while appreciating their contribution towards shaping modern-day Pakistan's infrastructure.
