EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "With the Shan Column in Burmah, Attack on the Rebel Position at Nankon" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Ernest Henry Griset, this print captures the intensity and bravery of military action during the 19th century. In this scene, we witness an assault on a rebel position at Nankon. The image showcases various elements of warfare - enemy movement, flanking maneuvers, and skirmishing between troops. The 3rd Ghoorkas and 67th Hampshire regiments can be seen strategically advancing up a slope towards the occupied village of Nankon. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable as he depicts every aspect of battle with precision. From soldiers storming forward with determination to rebels defending their position from atop a mound, each figure tells its own story within this larger narrative. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News in April 1887, providing readers with a visual account of events unfolding in Burma (now Myanmar). It serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression, capturing not only the physicality but also the emotions evoked by such conflicts. As we gaze upon this print today, it reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their beliefs and ideals. It allows us to reflect on our shared human history while appreciating Griset's talent for bringing these moments to life through his artistry.
