EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lithograph, titled "Dadur, 1839" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The print showcases members of the Bengal Horse Artillery pausing during the Army of the Indus' march towards the Bolan Pass in Baluchistan. Dadhar, a town situated at the mouth of a lengthy defile, served as an important strategic point during this campaign. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Captain Sir Keith A. Jackson, Bt, who was part of the 4th (Queen's Own) Light Dragoons. His sketches formed the basis for this lithograph, which was later published by W H Allen and Co and T McLean. As we delve into this image further, we can sense both awe and danger intertwined within its composition. The horse artillery stands resolute amidst breathtaking topography while surrounded by hills that conceal lurking Baluchi tribesmen. It becomes evident that these brave soldiers faced constant attacks throughout their two-week-long march through the treacherous Bolan Pass. This print not only offers a glimpse into military history but also highlights Jackson's artistic talent in capturing such intricate details with his skilled hand. Preserved by London's National Army Museum, it serves as a testament to those who fought valiantly during this campaign. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers are granted access to relive moments from our past and appreciate both historical significance and artistic brilliance simultaneously captured within one frame.
