EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Entrance into the Kojak Pass from Parush" takes us back to the year 1839. Created by James Atkinson and brought to life through tinted lithography, this print offers a glimpse into the rugged beauty of Afghanistan's landscape. The scene depicts the British Army of the Indus as they make their way through the treacherous Khojak Pass. Stretching over five miles and reaching heights of over 7000 feet, this mountainous route served as a crucial pathway between Quetta and Chaman on their journey towards Kandahar. Atkinson, not only an artist but also a Superintending Surgeon accompanying the force, captures both the majesty and challenges of this natural feature. The rocky terrain dominates the composition, showcasing its formidable nature while highlighting its unique topography. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in history. We can almost feel ourselves standing alongside those brave soldiers who traversed these daunting heights with determination and resilience. Published in 1842 by Henry Graves and Company and J W Allen and Company, Atkinson's work continues to captivate viewers today. Through his artistry, he immortalizes not only a specific location but also pays homage to all those who have braved such landscapes throughout history. This particular print is housed at London's National Army Museum - an invaluable piece that allows us to appreciate both Atkinson's talent as well as gain
