EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-80). The image showcases G Battery, 3rd Brigade of the British Army, equipped with powerful nine-pounder muzzle-loaders. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this photograph is now part of a private collection. The soldiers depicted are dressed in their colonial uniforms, representing the might of the British Empire during its imperial era. With their guns at hand, these brave infantry troops stand ready to defend their regiment and country against any threat that may arise. The backdrop of Peiwar Kotal adds depth to this historical snapshot. It serves as a reminder of the challenging terrain and harsh conditions faced by these soldiers during their campaign in Afghanistan. This print not only highlights the military aspect but also provides insight into the artistry of early photography. The monochrome tones evoke a sense of nostalgia while capturing every intricate detail with precision. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a time when bravery and sacrifice were paramount. It stands as a testament to those who fought for their nation's interests and sheds light on an important chapter in both British and Afghan history.
