EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, specifically to the Second Anglo-Afghan War that raged from 1878 to 1880. The image showcases a detailed plan of Ghazni, an ancient city in Afghanistan, which played a significant role during this military conflict. The map is extracted from the renowned book "British Battles on Land and Sea" by James Grant, published by Cassell Petter & Galpin in London, Paris & Melbourne around 1880. This historical piece of literature offers a glimpse into Britain's imperialistic ambitions at the time. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intrigue to this snapshot of history. It highlights not only the strategic importance of Ghazni but also serves as a reminder of the immense power struggles that characterized this era. As we observe this print closely, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both artistry and military strategy within its intricate lines and symbols.
