EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to 1879, immersing us in the bustling city of Jellalabad, Afghanistan. The scene captured by John Burke, a British photographer active during the 1860s and 1870s, is filled with vibrant energy and cultural richness. In this snapshot of history, we find ourselves amidst a busy street in Jellalabad. The composition beautifully showcases the architectural charm of the city as well as its lively atmosphere. People can be seen going about their daily lives - merchants tending to their stalls, locals engaged in conversation, and children playing joyfully on the cobblestone streets. The albumen silver print technique used by Burke adds an ethereal quality to this historical gem. It enhances both the sharpness of details and depth of tones within the image. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a visual time capsule that allows us to appreciate not only Burke's skillful craftsmanship but also gain insight into life in Jellalabad during this era. This print holds immense value beyond its aesthetic appeal; it offers a glimpse into an important period in Afghan history when Western influence was beginning to shape local communities. It reminds us of our shared humanity across time and place while encouraging curiosity about cultures different from our own.
