EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1882 engraving from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to a moment of turmoil and frustration. The image, titled "On my Way to Join my Regiment in Egypt, Catastrophes which Happened to an Officer Recalled from Leave in Kashmir during the Monsoon Rains: 8.30 P. M. we Await Dinner: the Cook Declares that he Can Procure No Supplies, and that our Last Two Bottles of Whiskey are Broken" captures a scene filled with both anticipation and disappointment. In this retro-styled print, we witness a group of officers gathered around a table as they eagerly await their evening meal. However, their hopes are dashed when the cook delivers distressing news - there will be no dinner tonight due to the unavailability of supplies. Adding insult to injury, their last remaining bottles of whiskey lie shattered on the floor. The engraved image skillfully depicts Victorian-era military life with its illustrative technique and attention to detail. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by those serving in law enforcement during this historical period. Through this vintage artwork, we catch glimpses into not only the officer's journey but also his encounters with catastrophes brought about by monsoon rains in Kashmir. This print offers us a fascinating window into history while showcasing the artistic prowess of engravement as an art form.
