Transporting Artillery in the Himalayan Foothills, c. 1847 Art Print
This colored lithograph, based on a work by Alexander Jack circa 1847, depicts a military operation in Himachal Pradesh, where artillery is ferried across the River Beas.
The sweeping composition showcases boats laden with cannons navigating the river against a dramatic mountain backdrop. Rowers and two figures on the riverbank—a uniformed officer near a possible guard post and a local in a red cap—add human context to the logistical effort.
Rendered in a romanticized 19th-century European style, the scene blends military precision with artistic grandeur. A flag flying from a tree hints at military presence, while the detailed depiction of boats, figures, and terrain highlights the challenges of transporting heavy weaponry through this remote landscape.
