1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: An Afridi Village in the North-West Frontier Province, Circa 1920 2. Nestled in the picturesque landscape of the North-West Frontier Province (N.W.F.P.), this photograph captures the essence of an Afridi Village, a vibrant and historic community in the northern regions of present-day Pakistan and Afghanistan. 3. The Afridi Tribe, known for their proud and independent spirit, have inhabited this rugged terrain for centuries. Their rich cultural heritage is reflected in the architecture, dress, and daily life of the villagers. 4. The image, taken in the 1920s, portrays a bustling village scene. A crystal-clear stream meanders through the heart of the settlement, providing essential water for the community. Villagers can be seen going about their daily chores, tending to their livestock, and socializing in the narrow, winding streets. 5. The Afridi Village, with its traditional mud-brick houses and thatched roofs, stands in stark contrast to the rugged mountainous backdrop. The verdant greenery and lush vegetation add to the idyllic setting. 6. The North-West Frontier Province, located along the border of India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, has a rich and complex history. This region has been a melting pot of diverse cultures, religions, and ethnicities. 7. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the Afridi people during a time when the world was on the brink of significant change. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of communities that have thrived in this challenging yet beautiful region for generations. 8. The Afridi Village, with its unique character and captivating beauty, continues to be an intriguing subject for scholars, travelers, and history enthusiasts alike.
