EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in the journey of Edward, Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, during his world tour in 1921-1922. The image was taken at the Khyber Pass in Afghanistan, a strategic and iconic border crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Prince is seen here leaving the pass, with the rugged terrain of the Khyber Valley stretching out behind him. The Khyber Pass was a crucial part of the Royal Indian Navy's Royal Route, connecting India with Britain, and was a significant military and trade route for centuries. The Prince's visit to the Khyber Pass was a symbolic demonstration of British influence and control over the North-West Frontier Province, a region that had long been a source of instability and conflict. The Prince's journey through the pass marked the first time a British monarch had visited the area, and it was a significant moment in the history of the British Raj. The Prince is seen here wearing his military uniform, complete with a fez and a sword, reflecting the ceremonial and symbolic nature of the visit. The image captures the sense of adventure and excitement that surrounded the Prince's world tour, as well as the challenges and dangers of traveling through the remote and rugged terrain of the Khyber Pass. The photograph is a testament to the Prince's courage and determination, as well as the enduring allure of exploration and discovery.
