The Afghan War, Sketches on the Line of March - A Glimpse into the 19th Century Military Campaign
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the Second Anglo-Afghan War, offering a unique visual narrative of life on the line of march. Created by an anonymous English School artist and featured in The Illustrated London News in November 1878, this engraving provides a vivid portrayal of various scenes encountered during this historic conflict. From bustling railway stations to military camps and street scenes, every detail is meticulously captured. The image showcases soldiers unloading supplies from their field service kits while others parade with quinine - a vital medicine used to combat malaria prevalent in these regions. Amongst them are members of the renowned 3rd Goorkhas regiment, distinguished for their bravery and loyalty. The composition also offers glimpses into everyday life amidst war-torn landscapes. We see campfires burning brightly as troops take respite during halts along their arduous journey through Sutooya and Terai regions. The presence of local Afghan people adds depth to the scene, highlighting cultural interactions within this tumultuous period. Binks' masterful artistry brings Afghanistan's rugged beauty to life; its mountains majestically looming in the background as soldiers traverse treacherous terrains. This print serves not only as historical documentation but also as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity. Preserved within private collections until now, this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to
