EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "View of the Mountain Baba-Naunee" offers a glimpse into the rugged landscape of Baluchistan in 1839. Created by James Atkinson, an accomplished artist and official Superintending Surgeon of the Army of the Indus, this artwork showcases his ability to capture both the beauty and danger that characterized his time serving in Afghanistan. Atkinson's attention to detail is evident as he portrays a panoramic view of the mountainous terrain. The tinted lithograph adds depth and richness to the scene, enhancing its dramatic effect. In this particular image, three Baluchi warriors stealthily approach an unsuspecting camp follower, highlighting the constant threat faced by British and Indian troops during their passage through Baluchistan. The print is part of a larger collection called "Sketches in Afghanistan" which consists of 26 tinted lithographs documenting Atkinson's experiences between 1838 and 1842. Published by Henry Graves and Company and J W Allen and Company in July 1842, these sketches provide valuable historical insights into military campaigns during that period. Now housed at the National Army Museum in London, this print serves as a testament to Atkinson's artistic talent as well as his role within the Army of Indus. It invites viewers to reflect on not only the natural beauty but also onthe challenges faced by those who ventured into unfamiliar lands for military purposes.
