EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Retention of Chitral" takes us back to the 19th century when English photographer Bridgeman Images captured this historical moment. The image showcases a ready military scene, depicting a detachment armed with powerful Maxim guns in action. Intriguingly, the presence of royalty adds an air of significance to this print. His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness can be seen observing the proceedings alongside other distinguished individuals. The Devonshire Regiment gunners are shown expertly handling their weapons while side loads carried by mules indicate the logistical challenges faced during this operation. Chitral, located in present-day Pakistan, was at the center of attention during that time due to its strategic importance. This photograph serves as an illustration for The Illustrated London News from August 24th, 1895, providing viewers with a visual account of events unfolding in this region. Bridgeman Images skillfully captures not only the military aspect but also offers insight into the cultural context surrounding Chitral's retention. With Mzphoto's expertise in photography evident here, we are transported back in time to witness history unfold before our eyes. This print is part of a private collection and belongs to Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection; it should be noted that commercial use is prohibited without permission from Fine Art Finder or Bridgeman Images.
