EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1891 engraving from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to General Wolseley's daring expedition against the Tsawbwa of Wuntho in Upper Burma. The image showcases the interior of a stockade situated at the pinnacle of the Nankin Pass, an astounding 2,500 feet above sea level. On the left side of this engraved masterpiece, we witness Major Smythes' column celebrating their triumphant capture of this strategic stronghold. Their faces radiate with pride and accomplishment as they stand tall within these fortified walls. Meanwhile, on the right side, we catch a glimpse into the Tsawbwa's preparations for their prisoners - a scene filled with anticipation and uncertainty. The illustrative technique employed in this engraving transports us to an era when Victorian arts and culture flourished. Its retro-styled aesthetic adds depth and character to every stroke, immersing us further into this historical moment. As we gaze upon this vintage print, our imagination runs wild with thoughts of adventure and exploration. We can almost feel ourselves standing alongside General Wolseley's brave troops as they navigate through treacherous terrain on their arduous journey towards victory. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to human resilience and determination in times gone by. It reminds us that history is not just confined to textbooks but can be brought vividly to life through art such as this enchanting engraving from 000058's collection.
