First and sole edition of this rare suite of plates, a fine visual record of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-81), an episode in the Great Game between Britain and Russia, almost certainly printed privately for Lieutenant Irwin. An online search of institutional libraries reveals just 3 locations (British Library, Duke, and Minnesota), with only 2 copies on auction records (2004 and 1957). John Frederick Irwin passed out of RMC Sandhurst in 1866 and then served with the 59th (2nd Nottinghamshire) Regiment: ensign January 1868; lieutenant October 1871. "Captain Irwin served with the 59th Regiment in the Afghan war of 1878-80 with the Candahar Column under Sir Donald Stewart, during 1878 as Orderly Officer to Brigadier General Hughes. Took part in the advance on Khelat- i-Ghilzie and Ghuznee and in the subsequent operations in the Logar Valley; was present in the engagements at Shahjui, Ahmed Kheyl, and Urzoo near Ghuznee (mentioned in despatches, Medal with Clasp)" (Hart's Army List 1885). In 1881, under the Childers Reforms, the 59th was amalgamated with the 30th (Cambridgeshire) Foot to form the East Lancashire Regiment; while serving with this newly-formed unit, Irwin was promoted captain in September 1881, and appointed paymaster to the 2nd Battalion. The National Army Museum holds a sketchbook by Irwin, along with the original drawings for the present work; two other collections of original watercolours have passed through the auction rooms. Irwin also supplied sketches made during the war to the illustrated weekly The Graphic. During the 18th century drawing masters had been established at the military training centres at Woolwich, Chatham, High Wycombe, and Addiscombe, with the aim of instructing officer cadets in drawing and watercolour. Sandhurst, too, which Irwin attended, had such a setup, as noted in a guide of 1849: "There is a Master for Landscape drawing, and the Cadets are taught to draw from nature; there are two Military Drawing Masters, who instruct the students in the art of delineating ground with the brush and with the pen. This power, combined with the knowledge obtained under the Surveying Master, renders the élèves of this institution valuable assistants on the Quarter-Master-General's Staff". It is possible that Irwin's sketches may have been worked up by the lithographers Vincent Brooks, Day & Son, London's leading firm, a practice begun for officer-artists by Day & Son during the Crimean War. A contemporary review in The Athenaeum (12 February 1881) noted that Irwin's choice of views "are good subjects, all of which have been treated in the manner to be expected when the slight sketches of an amateur are reproduced in the offices of a London lithographer". Views in Southern Afghanistan would have been a vanity project intended for distribution among a small coterie of friends and family; and something of an engaging anachronism given that the camera had established its worth in a military context as early as the Second Anglo-Sikh War (1848-9) and the pioneering work of John McCosh. The plates comprise: Kelat-i-Ghilzai Fort Kelat-i-Ghilzai (inside main gate) City and Cantonments, Candahar Cantonment, Candahar The Bolan Pass Arghandab Valley (looking south) The Gwajur Pass Rather than stirring battle scenes, Irwin depicts placid yet mournful landscapes, capturing something of the harsh mountainous terrain of the region that made campaigning so particularly gruelling. Unsurprisingly, five of the eight plates depict two strategically important locations: the fort at Kalat-i-Ghilzai (2) and Kandahar (3); the first on the Kabul-Kandahar road, the second "at the meeting-place of two main strategic routes - from Herat to Kabul and from Herat to the Bolan Pass" (Robson, pp. 20-1). The Bolan Pass itself is described by Captain H. L. Nevill in his excellent Campaigns on the North-West Frontier (1912) as "a formidable obstacle". Irwin makes this his most animated scene, with British troops moving barefoot through a stream, a soldier pausing on a spit of sand to light his pipe, the newly-installed telegraph line visible on the left. By contrast, the forbidding Gwajur (Gwaja) pass is a desolate landscape depicted in sombre greys, a dead camel - a common sight during the war - lying by the river while vultures circle overhead.
