EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the Afghan War. The image showcases the arrival of commissariat stores for the Quetta Column at Camp Meean Meer, Pakistan. Engraved by an English School artist in the 19th century, this illustration was featured in The Illustrated London News on December 7,1878. The scene is bustling with military activity as soldiers and workers unload supplies from elephants. These majestic creatures play a crucial role in transporting the much-needed provisions for the troops stationed at Quetta Column. Their presence adds a touch of grandeur to an otherwise harsh and challenging environment. The composition beautifully depicts the camp set against a backdrop of rugged terrain, symbolizing both resilience and determination amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and highlights the logistical efforts required to sustain military operations. This historical artwork offers viewers a glimpse into one chapter of Afghanistan's complex history while showcasing elements such as elephants that are not commonly associated with warfare. As we admire this engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how art can preserve moments that shape our world forever.
