EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Our Troops in Afghanistan, Athletic Games at Jellalabad, a Dooley Race" takes us back to the 19th century during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The image showcases a thrilling moment of camaraderie and competition among military personnel stationed in Jellalabad. In this scene, soldiers are seen participating in an intense dooley race, one of the many athletic games organized for entertainment and morale-boosting purposes. The troops eagerly push themselves to their limits as they sprint alongside each other with determination etched on their faces. The energy is palpable as spectators cheer them on from the sidelines. The artist's attention to detail transports us into this historical event, allowing us to witness not only the physical prowess of these brave men but also glimpse into their lives beyond warfare. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and adversity, moments of respite and unity can be found. This print was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on April 24th, 1880 - a publication renowned for its visual storytelling through engravings like this one. Preserved within private collections over time, it now finds itself showcased by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured through artistry, we are reminded of the resilience and spirit exhibited by our troops throughout history – both on and off the battlefield.
