EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1895, showcasing a remarkable sight: the Bridge of boats over the Indus at Khushalgarh, Pakistan. The image is extracted from "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" a publication written by Elisee Reclus and published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London. Nestled amidst a breathtaking landscape, this Asian countryside scene transports us to an era when bridges were constructed using pontoon crossings. The mountainous backdrop adds an enchanting touch to this geographical feature that once connected two sides of the river Indus. As we explore this century-old print, we are reminded of Pakistan's rich history and its significance as a country straddling continents. This monochrome engraving captures the essence of rural life in Northwest Frontier during the 19th century, offering glimpses into daily routines and cultural practices. Elisee Reclus's meticulous documentation allows us to appreciate not only the physical structure but also how it shaped communities along its path. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity in overcoming natural obstacles for connectivity purposes. Preserved by The Print Collector, this historical gem invites us on a journey through time while honoring both Pakistani heritage and Elisee Reclus's contribution to geography. Let this evocative image transport you across centuries as you imagine traversing these bridge planks suspended above one of Asia's most iconic rivers -the Indus
