EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Entrance into Bajaur, Valley of Panjkora River, contested by Umra Khan's Men on 13 April" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the talented artist William Barnes Wollen in 1895, this print captures the intensity and drama of the Chitral Expedition. The image showcases a scene from the entrance into Bajaur, with the powerful Panjkora River flowing through it. The river's turbulent waters reflect the challenges faced by Umra Khan's men as they fiercely contest control over this strategic location. In their military attire, these brave soldiers stand resolute against an uncertain fate. As we explore further into the composition, we witness burnt villages and washed-away topography that bear witness to past conflicts. Guides lead their comrades across a sling bridge towards occupied territories while others occupy forts along the riverbanks. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element contributes to our understanding of this historical event. The engraving technique used enhances its dramatic effect and adds depth to each stroke. This print serves as a reminder of both human resilience and conflict throughout history. It offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten – an era when bravery clashed with adversity amidst breathtaking landscapes like Bajaur Valley.
