EDITORS COMMENTS
The War in Bhootan (engraving) captures the intensity and drama of a significant historical event that unfolded in the 19th century. This powerful print, created by an English School artist, showcases the fierce battle between native troops and the Bengal Army during the Bhutan War. The image transports us to Dewangiri, a strategic location in Bhutan, where military forces clash amidst a rugged topography. The stockade stands tall as a symbol of resistance against invading forces. With storming determination, soldiers on both sides engage in combat, their bravery evident even from this static depiction. This engraving not only serves as a visual record of warfare but also highlights the cultural context of Asia. It sheds light on how Asian nations like Bhutan were embroiled in conflicts with colonial powers during this era. The attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship showcased through this print is truly remarkable. Every line etched into the paper tells a story of sacrifice and struggle for power. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the human cost behind such conflicts and encouraged to reflect on our shared history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this artwork continues to serve as an educational tool for future generations who seek insight into past events that shaped our world.
