EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Afghanistan in the late 19th century, specifically on the road to Candahar. The engraving, created by Charles Edwin Fripp, offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history. The image showcases a scene filled with military activity and cultural elements. In the foreground, we see tents scattered across the landscape, indicating a bivouac or temporary campsite for soldiers. A fortress stands proudly in the distance - Ghuznee's stronghold reminding us of Afghanistan's rich history. A group of soldiers can be seen crossing the Narrya River, facing a dilemma as they navigate their way through this challenging terrain while carrying essential supplies. The presence of natives adds an authentic touch to this depiction of life on the road to Candahar. Notably, there is also a Goorkha camp visible along with its transport officer overseeing operations. This highlights both international cooperation and diversity within military forces during that time period. Overall, this engraving beautifully encapsulates both historical significance and artistic prowess. It serves as a reminder of Afghanistan's complex past and its role as an important crossroads between cultures throughout centuries gone by.
