EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Leather Afghan waterbottle dating back to 1842. The image captures the intricate craftsmanship of this historical artifact, which was created by the Afghan School in the 19th century and is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. During this period, water played a vital role for soldiers on the march in Afghanistan. In particular, Major-General Sir George Pollock's army faced extreme challenges after relieving the besieged British garrison at Jalalabad in April 1842. As they stayed there for several weeks enduring debilitating heat, outbreaks of cholera posed a significant threat to Pollock's forces. Interestingly, this leather waterbottle is not of British origin but rather acquired as a trophy by one of the British soldiers during their stay in Jalalabad. It serves as a poignant reminder of their time spent battling adversity and highlights their resourcefulness in acquiring essential supplies. The photograph beautifully captures both the historical significance and artistic value of this unique piece. Its detailed design reflects the skilled craftsmanship prevalent during that era while also shedding light on an important aspect of military life - access to clean drinking water amidst challenging circumstances. Displayed within its frame, this print transports viewers back to an era where survival depended on such practical yet remarkable objects like this Leather Afghan waterbottle from 1842 circa.
