EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts troops encamped at the entrance to the Keree Pass, located north of Meerut in India. The print showcases a mesmerizing scene where several camels, including Bactrian camels, stand tall against the backdrop of this historic pass. The image offers a glimpse into Indian culture and Asian wildlife. The composition beautifully captures the essence of life in colonial India during that era. The soldiers' camp is bustling with activity as they prepare for their journey through the pass. In the distance, one can spot Delhi, approximately 80 miles away, adding an air of anticipation and adventure to this visual narrative. The presence of these majestic animals adds depth and intrigue to the artwork. Camels were essential companions for long journeys across arid terrains like those found in this region. Their significance in Indian history cannot be understated, symbolizing resilience and adaptability. Published in "The Indian Empire Illustrated" around 1860, this engraving provides a window into a bygone era when British troops traversed vast distances within India's diverse landscape. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that transports viewers back to witness firsthand the beauty and challenges faced by those who ventured through such iconic passes. This print from Bridgeman Images is not just an exquisite piece of art but also an invitation to explore history through its intricate details and rich cultural context.
