EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Afghanistan, with a Transport Train on the Way to Quetta" takes us back in time to the rugged landscapes of 19th-century Afghanistan. The image depicts a military transport train making its arduous journey through the region towards Quetta, Pakistan. The scene is filled with action and drama as several camels lead the way, carrying essential supplies such as grain for the troops. In the distance, we can see a group of soldiers chasing after a loose camel that has strayed from its path. This highlights both the challenges faced by those responsible for maintaining order and security during this time period. The presence of penalty camels suggests that theft was not uncommon along these routes, emphasizing how valuable these animals were in Afghan society. Despite these obstacles, however, the march continues undeterred as each member of this convoy plays their part in ensuring safe passage. The artist Charles Edwin Fripp masterfully captures not only the physical beauty of Afghanistan's wild landscapes but also provides us with an insight into daily life during this era. Through his intricate engravings and attention to detail, he transports us back to a time when travel across vast terrains was both perilous and awe-inspiring. This remarkable print serves as a reminder of our shared history and offers glimpses into cultures long gone but still resonating within our collective memory.
