EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a pivotal moment in the British presence in Afghanistan in July 1839. The image shows the British force advancing on Maidan, where Amir Dost Mahommed has taken refuge. Despite offering lavish bribes, the British fail to win over allies among the native tribes.
The scene is filled with tension as the British soldiers push forward towards their objective, determined to capture or defeat Amir Dost Mahommed. The events unfolding in this photograph are a stark reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by foreign powers attempting to exert influence in unfamiliar territories.
