"The Town of Roree, and the Fortress of Bhukker, on the Indus" is an evocative illustration from the 19th-century publication "Sketches in Afghaunistan" by James Atkinson. This work is a significant visual and historical document that captures the landscapes and architectural marvels encountered during the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839-1842). James Atkinson, an accomplished artist and surgeon, accompanied the British expeditionary forces and meticulously documented his observations through a series of sketches and writings.

The illustration of Roree and the Fortress of Bhukker provides a glimpse into the strategic and cultural importance of these locations along the Indus River. Roree, known today as Rohri, is situated in the Sindh province of modern-day Pakistan. It has historically been a vital trading hub due to its proximity to the Indus River, which has served as a crucial artery for commerce and communication in the region for millennia. The town's bustling markets and vibrant streets are indicative of its economic significance during the period.

The Fortress of Bhukker, also known as Bukkur Fort, is located on an island in the Indus River near the town of Sukkur. This fortification has been a focal point of military strategy and defense due to its commanding position and natural defenses provided by the river. The fort has witnessed numerous historical events and has been under the control of various empires and rulers, including the Mughals and the British.

Atkinson's depiction of these sites not only highlights their architectural and geographical features but also provides insight into the broader geopolitical context of the time. His work serves as a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts of South Asian history, offering a visual narrative that complements the written records of the era. Through his detailed and artistic renderings, Atkinson has preserved a moment in time, allowing contemporary audiences to appreciate the historical significance and enduring legacy of Roree and the Fortress of Bhukker.
