EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Afghan Hill Tribes" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of the Afghan people. The print showcases a group of individuals belonging to various hill tribes, each wearing their distinctive traditional dress. In this remarkable portrait, we see Pozai Khan, a talented musician whose eyes reflect his passion for music. His presence adds an air of mystique and intrigue to the composition. Surrounding him are other tribal members such as Shinwarri, Mousa, Zool Kuddar, Dahzungi Hazara, Kizilbash - all representing different ethnicities within Afghanistan. The artist masterfully captures not only their physical features but also hints at their unique cultural identities through intricate details in clothing and accessories. Their stoic expressions convey strength and resilience that have withstood generations amidst challenging circumstances. This engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on April 26th, 1879 – a testament to its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the rich diversity found within Afghanistan's borders while shedding light on lesser-known communities living in remote regions like Peshawur and Wullie Mohammed. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from English School's collection held privately; it is now available for public appreciation without any copyright restrictions. Through this image, we can delve into Afghan history and culture while honoring these extraordinary individuals who continue to shape their nation's vibrant tapestry today
