EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "Afghanistan, General Roberts Victory at Baba Wali, 1 September" captures a significant moment in history during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the bravery and triumph of General Roberts and his troops. In this image, we witness the decisive turning point of the battle as General Roberts leads his men into a final charge against Ayoub Khan's forces. The topography of Baba Wali provides a dramatic backdrop to this intense clash between two armies. The spoils of war are evident as victorious soldiers seize enemy positions and guns while pushing towards Ayoub Khan's camp. Amongst all the chaos, one can't help but notice the valiant 92nd Highlanders charging forward fearlessly alongside their fellow comrades. Their unwavering determination symbolizes both their commitment to victory and their loyalty to their country. This historic event was widely covered in news publications like The Graphic on October 23rd, 1880. Through this engraving, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand the courage and sacrifice displayed by these brave soldiers. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from its private collection for us to appreciate today. It serves as a reminder of not only General Robert's strategic brilliance but also honors all those who fought bravely during that tumultuous period in Afghan history.
