EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The War in Afghanistan, the Action on the Heights above Charasiab, 6 October" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist during the 19th century, this print captures a crucial battle scene from the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The image showcases General Sir F Roberts leading his troops into action on October 6th. The setting is atop the heights above Charasiab, where military forces are engaged in intense combat. With meticulous attention to detail, the engraving portrays soldiers strategically positioned along a winding road that leads to the village of Charasiab. Intriguingly, we see three key positions highlighted: General Baker's position, Major White's position, and even glimpses of enemy lines. This visual representation provides valuable insight into both sides' tactics and strategies during this conflict. The landscape itself plays a pivotal role in this artwork as it demonstrates how topography influenced military maneuvers. From afar, we can observe Zahidabad and its surrounding areas serving as a backdrop for this fierce encounter. This historical artifact serves as an invaluable resource for understanding warfare techniques employed during that era while shedding light on specific events within Afghan history. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and storytelling ability.
