EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Afghanistan, Major Cavagnari, the Member of the British Mission who was refused Admission to the Khyber Pass, and Afridi and other Pathan Mullicks" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a powerful scene from Afghanistan's past. In this illustration for The Graphic newspaper dated October 26,1878, we witness Major Cavagnari of the British Mission being denied entry into the formidable Khyber Pass. Dressed in traditional Afghan attire alongside him are Afridi and other Pathan Mullicks – prominent figures representing their culture. This artwork offers a glimpse into the tense relations between Britain and Afghanistan during that era. It symbolizes not only political tensions but also showcases diverse cultural identities through clothing choices. The intricate details of their garments highlight their rich heritage and individuality. Through this image, we can imagine ourselves standing at that very moment when Major Cavagnari faced resistance at one of Afghanistan's most iconic landmarks. It serves as a reminder of historical struggles for power and control over strategic territories. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving continues to be an invaluable piece of art that allows us to delve deeper into our shared global history.
