"The Wild Pass of Siri-Kajoor" is a notable illustration from the 19th-century publication "Sketches in Afghaunistan" by James Atkinson. This work is a significant visual and literary document that offers a glimpse into the landscapes and cultural settings encountered during the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839-1842). James Atkinson, an accomplished artist, and surgeon, was part of the British expeditionary forces and utilized his artistic skills to document the journey and the regions traversed by the British Army.

The illustration of "The Wild Pass of Siri-Kajoor" captures the rugged and dramatic terrain of the Afghan landscape, which posed considerable challenges to the British forces. The pass itself is depicted with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing steep cliffs, narrow pathways, and the formidable natural barriers that characterized much of Afghanistan's geography. Atkinson's work is not merely a visual record but also serves as a historical artifact that provides insights into the strategic and logistical difficulties faced by the British during their military campaign.

"Sketches in Afghaunistan" was published in 1842 and includes a series of lithographs based on Atkinson's original drawings. These illustrations are accompanied by descriptive texts that offer context and narrative to the visual depictions. Atkinson's dual role as an artist and a participant in the military campaign lends authenticity and immediacy to his work, making it a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts of military history and 19th-century art.

The publication is also significant for its contribution to the Western understanding and perception of Afghanistan during a period of imperial expansion and conflict. Atkinson's illustrations, including "The Wild Pass of Siri-Kajoor," provide a rare and vivid portrayal of a region that was, and remains, relatively inaccessible and enigmatic to the Western world.
