This is the original drawing for plate 3 of Jack's Six Views of Kot Kangra (1847); a series of lithographs based on those sketches made by Jack during the Kangra campaign, in which the artist, then a brigadier, had fought. The operation brought one of the most beautiful regions of the Himalayas under British control. Mildred Archer's own title: 'Part of the road by which guns were taken up above the town of Mulkera', partakes in the excitement of such work - executed on the spot and whilst history was being made.
