EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1900, capturing the awe-inspiring beauty and treacherous nature of The Khyber Pass in Afghanistan. Known as a strategically vital passageway connecting Pakistan with Afghanistan, this illustration from "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria" by Robert Wilson offers a glimpse into a remote and wild country. In this monochrome engraving, we are transported to the North West Frontier Province, where danger lurks around every corner. The rugged landscape depicted in exquisite detail showcases the untamed essence of Afghanistan during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel the sense of isolation that travelers must have experienced while traversing through these perilous terrains. The Khyber Pass itself stands as an emblematic symbol of adventure and risk-taking. It serves as a testament to human resilience against nature's challenges. This image evokes both admiration for those who dared to venture through such dangerous paths and curiosity about what lies beyond its boundaries. Captured by an unknown creator but immortalized by Robert Wilson's skillful rendering, this print transports us back in time. It reminds us of how photography has always been able to capture not only visual details but also emotions tied to specific locations. Let it serve as a reminder that even amidst danger and remoteness, there is beauty waiting to be discovered if one dares to explore beyond their comfort zone.
