EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the late 19th century, during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The image showcases the Eedgah, or North Gate, in Candahar (now Kandahar), Afghanistan. It is a scene filled with historical significance and cultural richness. The photograph captures a walled city bustling with activity. Men dressed in traditional Afghan attire can be seen going about their daily lives against the backdrop of towering city walls. A group of camels gracefully traverse through the gateway, symbolizing trade and transportation within this ancient city. The composition exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as it immerses us into a bygone era marked by imperialism and conflict. This visual depiction serves as a reminder of Britain's military presence during that time period. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image, emphasizing its timeless quality while highlighting intricate details such as architectural elements on the gate itself. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from James Grant's book "British Battles on Land and Sea" we are transported to another world - one where history comes alive through artistry and storytelling. It serves as both a window into Afghanistan's past and an invitation for further exploration into its rich heritage.
