EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "First Anglo-Afghan 1838-1842: Bazaar at Cabul (Kabul) during fruit season" takes us back in time to a bustling marketplace in Afghanistan. The image, captured by J Atkinson and later turned into a hand-colored lithograph, showcases the vibrant atmosphere of commerce and daily life during this period of British imperialism. In the foreground, veiled women can be seen on the right side of the frame, adding an air of mystery and cultural significance to the scene. On the left side, a refreshment stall stands proudly amidst the hustle and bustle, offering respite for weary shoppers seeking sustenance amid their shopping endeavors. The market itself is teeming with activity as locals engage in trade and barter over an array of fresh fruits that are abundant during this particular season. The variety of colors from these luscious fruits creates a vivid spectacle against the backdrop of Kabul's river flowing gently nearby. Atkinson's sketches provide us with a glimpse into Afghan society at this time - its customs, traditions, and interactions with British influence. This hand-colored lithograph transports us to another era while highlighting both cultural diversity and shared experiences through commerce. As we admire this historical artwork from London 1842 courtesy of Universal Images Group (UIG), it serves as a reminder not only of Afghanistan's rich history but also its enduring resilience in face of changing times.
