EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Afghan War, View from the Cabul Gate Jellalabad, showing the Road by which Dr Brydon arrived in January 1842" offers a glimpse into a significant moment during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the fortified city of Kabul and its imposing fortifications. The focal point of this illustration is the road that leads to Kabul's Cabul Gate Jellalabad, through which Dr Brydon arrived in January 1842. This historic event holds great significance as it symbolizes resilience and survival amidst conflict. The viewer can almost feel themselves standing at this gate, witnessing history unfold before their eyes. The intricate details of the fortress walls and ramparts highlight both its grandeur and strategic importance during wartime. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by those involved in conflicts throughout history. Published in The Illustrated London News on May 10th, 1879, this engraving provides valuable insight into a crucial chapter of Afghan history. Preserved within private collections today, it continues to serve as a visual testament to bravery and perseverance. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to that fateful day in January 1842 when Dr Brydon made his courageous journey through these very gates – forever etching his name into Afghanistan's rich tapestry of resilience and determination.
