EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Bala Hissar, at Present Besieged by the Afghan Insurgents, and City of Cabul, from the Upper Part of the Citadel" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into Afghanistan's turbulent past. The image showcases the imposing Bala Hissar fortress standing tall amidst a besieged city of Cabul. The intricate details highlight the architectural grandeur of both structures. From its vantage point atop the citadel, one can witness the sprawling topography of Cabul with its bustling streets and traditional buildings. However, what truly captures attention is not just the physical beauty but also the underlying conflict depicted here. The presence of Afghan insurgents surrounding Bala Hissar adds an air of tension and uncertainty to this scene. It serves as a reminder that even in times when peace seems elusive, art has always been able to capture these moments for posterity. Originally published in The Graphic on September 13th, 1879, this illustration provides valuable historical context about Afghanistan during that era. Preserved within private collections today and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, it allows us to delve into Afghanistan's rich heritage while contemplating how conflicts have shaped its history.
