EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Afghan War, the Shor Bazaar, Cabul, looted by the Enemy on 14 December" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the chaos and devastation caused during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The scene depicts the bustling Shor Bazaar in Cabul, Afghanistan's capital city. However, on that fateful day of December 14th, it fell victim to enemy forces who ruthlessly plundered its vibrant markets. The illustration was originally published in The Illustrated London News on March 6th, 1880. Every detail within this artwork tells a story of destruction and despair. The once lively streets are now strewn with debris and remnants of shattered lives. It serves as a haunting reminder of the horrors endured during times of conflict. Through this engraving, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in Afghan history when war ravaged their land and disrupted their way of life. It stands as both a historical record and an artistic testament to human resilience amidst adversity. As we contemplate this image today, let us remember those affected by war throughout history and strive for peace so that scenes like these remain confined to our past rather than our present or future.
