EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Afghan War, Village of Kata Khooshtia, Khyber Pass" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the tumultuous times of the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The image showcases the rugged beauty of Afghanistan's Khyber Pass region, with its towering mountains and treacherous terrain. In this scene, we find ourselves in the village of Kata Khooshtia. The intricate details captured by the English School artist transport us to a time when life in this remote village was vastly different from our own. The architecture reflects a blend of local traditions and influences from neighboring regions. As we explore every corner of this print, it becomes evident that war has left its mark on this tranquil landscape. Though not explicitly depicted here, one can imagine the stories hidden within these walls – tales of resilience and struggle against foreign forces. "The Afghan War" engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on February 15th, 1879. It serves as both an informative historical document and a testament to human endurance amidst conflict. Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate this remarkable artwork today while reminding us that history is not confined to textbooks alone; it lives through art like this engraving—capturing moments frozen in time for generations to come.
