EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Sher Ali, the Emir of Afghanistan from 1863 to 1879, with a warm and inviting expression. Born in 1825, Sher Ali was the son of Dost Mohammed, a former ruler of Afghanistan who had previously established friendly relations with Russia. In contrast to his father's tense relationship with the British, Sher Ali sought to strengthen Afghanistan's ties with Russia, leading to increasing conflict with the British Empire. The Emir is depicted here wearing a traditional Afghan coat, adorned with intricate embroidery and a fur collar, over a long shirt. His beard, a symbol of his Afghan identity and religious devotion, is neatly groomed. He wears a tall, cylindrical hat, known as a "pakol," which is still worn by Afghans today. Sher Ali's friendly relations with Russia alarmed the British, who saw Afghanistan as a vital buffer state between their Indian territories and Russian influence in Central Asia. Tensions escalated into the Second Anglo-Afghan War, which began in 1878 and lasted until 1880. The war ended with the British occupation of Kabul and the eventual defeat of Sher Ali's forces. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the complex political dynamics of the 19th century in Afghanistan and the broader geopolitical context of the Great Game, the rivalry between Russia and Britain for influence in Central Asia. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Afghanistan and the enduring significance of its people and history.
