Taken by photographer John Burke during the Second Afghan War, this image offers a glimpse into the historical landscape of Jamrud, located at the entrance to the renowned Khyber Pass. Lieutenant-General Sir Samuel Browne led his Peshawar Valley Field Force from Jamrud towards Ali Masjid, an Afghan fortress they aimed to capture before advancing on to Jalalabad.

This particular photograph is part of a larger album containing 100 captivating images captured by Burke circa 1878. The stunning topography showcased in this print highlights not only the beauty but also the significance of these villages and passes during that period.
