EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Afghan Campaign, a 'Freshet' in the Bolan Pass" takes us back to the 19th century and provides a glimpse into the dramatic events of the Afghan campaign. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a pivotal moment during this historical conflict. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst the rugged terrain of Afghanistan's Bolan Pass. The pass is known for its treacherous nature, and here it becomes even more formidable as a freshet - a sudden flood caused by heavy rain or melting snow - engulfs the landscape. The rushing waters add an element of danger and chaos to an already challenging battleground. Amidst this tumultuous setting, horses can be seen struggling against the forceful current. Their determined riders fight to maintain control while navigating through this unexpected obstacle. It is evident that both man and beast are tested to their limits in their quest for victory. The engraving was originally published in The Graphic on January 3rd, 1880, providing readers with a visual representation of one aspect of the Afghan Campaign. This historic illustration offers us an opportunity to reflect upon not only the bravery and resilience displayed by those involved but also serves as a reminder of how art has long been used as a medium to document significant moments throughout history. Now preserved within private collections, this print continues to captivate viewers with its vivid portrayal of courage amidst adversity in one of history's most challenging military campaigns – forever etching itself
