EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Action in the Chardeh Valley: Trying to save the guns" takes us back in time to a significant moment during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Published around 1910, this lithograph by Henry Marriott Paget is based on an illustration by Howard Pyle. The image depicts a thrilling military action scene as soldiers on horseback charge through a charging river, determined to save their guns. The rugged Afghan landscape serves as a dramatic backdrop, with majestic mountains towering in the distance. The commander leads his troops fearlessly, galloping ahead with unwavering determination. In this intense battle setting, we witness the power and bravery of these colonial cavalry forces. Their horses move swiftly across the terrain while they remain focused and armed for combat. Every soldier plays their part in trying to secure victory for their side. This historical engraving captures not only the physicality of war but also showcases sportsmanship among these soldiers who engage in this perilous activity willingly. It serves as a reminder of both the hardships faced by those involved in conflicts like these and their dedication to protecting what they believe is right. Preserved within private collections today, this print from Fine Art Finder allows us to reflect upon an important chapter in history that shaped relations between Afghanistan and the United Kingdom during that tumultuous period between 1878 and 1880.
