EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a scene of adventure and determination. Titled "Crossing a river in Turkestan" it depicts a group of individuals bravely navigating their way through a mountain river. The illustration was created by an English School artist for the book Wonderland or Curiosities of Nature and Art by Wood Smith, published in 1897. In this dynamic composition, horses, racehorses, ponies, and even a shire horse can be seen crossing the rushing waters alongside their human companions. The animals' strength is evident as they swim across the majestic river with grace and agility. This image captures not only the beauty of these creatures but also highlights their importance as means of transportation in Central Asia during that time. The engraver skillfully portrays the excitement and energy surrounding this challenging endeavor. It conveys both the physical exertion required to cross such treacherous terrain and the spirit of teamwork among those involved. Whether sportswomen or sportsmen, everyone seems united in their goal to conquer nature's obstacles. This historic print offers us a glimpse into life in Turkestan during the late 19th century while celebrating both human ingenuity and our connection with animals. Its timeless appeal lies in its ability to transport viewers back to an era when rivers served as vital lifelines for communities throughout Asia.
