EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Temple of Ahmed Shauh, King of Afghanistan, situated in the vibrant city of Kandahar. The image, taken from plate 27 of "Scenery, Inhabitants and Costumes of Afghanistan" showcases the intricate architecture and rich cultural heritage that define this sacred sanctuary. Engraved by Robert Carrick in 1848, this lithograph beautifully portrays a bustling scene filled with tents and camels surrounding the temple. The landscape exudes an aura of tranquility as visitors gather to pay their respects and immerse themselves in the spiritual ambiance. The market adjacent to the temple adds a lively touch to the composition. Here, locals engage in trade and commerce while embracing their Muslim traditions. This convergence between religion and daily life is a testament to the deep-rooted faith that permeates every aspect of Afghan society. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed within a private collection, this rare photograph offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a reminder of Afghanistan's rich history and architectural marvels that have stood strong for centuries. Bridgeman Images has once again preserved an invaluable piece of artistry through this remarkable depiction.
