EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the strategic planning of British military operations in Afghanistan. Titled "Plan of the Road from the Shutargardan Pass to Cabul" this etching is part of James Grant's renowned book, "British Battles on Land and Sea". The image showcases a meticulously detailed map, depicting an important route connecting the Shutargardan Pass to Kabul. The intricate lines and markings reveal a well-thought-out plan for navigating through challenging mountainous terrain. This road served as a crucial lifeline for British forces during the Anglo-Afghan War, highlighting Britain's imperialistic ambitions in that region. The print also introduces us to key figures involved in these military campaigns. Lord Frederick Sleigh Roberts, known as Earl Roberts or Baron Roberts of Kandahar and Waterford, played a significant role in strategizing these operations. His expertise is evident in this comprehensive map. As we observe this historical document, it becomes clear that it represents more than just geography or cartography; it symbolizes power dynamics and political aspirations intertwined with warfare tactics. It serves as a reminder of Britain's presence in Afghanistan during that era. Preserved by The Print Collector29 and published by Cassell Petter & Galpin London, Paris & Melbourne around 1880, this remarkable piece offers us an opportunity to delve into history while appreciating its artistic value.
