EDITORS COMMENTS
The haunting engraving titled "Left to Die" captures a chilling incident from the Afghan War in the 19th century. Created by an English School artist, this print showcases the horrors of war and its devastating impact on both humans and animals. In this scene, we are confronted with a desolate landscape strewn with skeletons of soldiers and camels alike. The artist skillfully portrays the grim aftermath of a tragic incident that unfolded during the Afghan War. The skeletal remains serve as a stark reminder of lives lost and dreams shattered in this unforgiving conflict. Amidst the bones lies a lone Bactrian camel, symbolizing resilience amidst despair. This majestic creature, once used as transportation for soldiers, now stands abandoned and left to perish alongside its human counterparts. Its presence adds another layer of tragedy to an already heart-wrenching scene. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by those involved in warfare - not only do human lives hang in balance but innocent creatures also suffer greatly. It serves as a poignant commentary on the futility and brutality of war. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on March 27th, 1880, shedding light on one specific incident among countless others that occurred during the Afghan War. Preserved within private collections today, it continues to evoke deep emotions while urging us never to forget the cost paid by all those caught up in conflicts throughout history.
