EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Figures resting in shade" captured by the talented British photographer John Burke during his active years in the 1860s and 1870s, we are transported to Afghanistan in the late 19th century. The image showcases a serene moment of respite amidst the harsh Afghan landscape. The composition is beautifully framed, with a group of figures seeking shelter from the scorching sun under a large tree. Their weary bodies find solace in its protective shade as they recline on makeshift seats or simply rest on the ground. The play of light and shadow adds depth to their tired expressions, hinting at their arduous journey through unknown territories. Burke's skillful use of albumen silver print brings out exquisite details, allowing us to appreciate every texture and contour within this historical scene. Each figure seems lost in their own thoughts, perhaps reflecting on past experiences or contemplating what lies ahead. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both the physical challenges faced by explorers like Burke during their expeditions into unfamiliar lands and also offers an intimate glimpse into everyday life for those who called Afghanistan home at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, let us take a moment to honor these resilient individuals who found strength even amidst adversity while reminding ourselves of our shared humanity across time and borders.
