EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Fort of Kote Kangra, 1846" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the First Anglo-Sikh War. The image showcases the impressive fortifications of Kote Kangra, standing tall against the backdrop of the South End's picturesque topography. The war between the Sikh Empire and the British East India Company resulted in this very fort being ceded by the Treaty of Lahore. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but imagine the intense battles that took place within its ramparts and on its fortified walls. The intricate details captured by the English School artist transport us to colonial-era India, where guns and soldiers played crucial roles in shaping history. The presence of Soondur Singh, known as Killadar of Kangra, adds an intriguing layer to this visual narrative. As we delve into this historical masterpiece from Fine Art Finder's Private Collection, it serves as a reminder of how empires clashed and territories were won or lost. Let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize its significance in understanding our shared past.
