EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Afghanistan, Homeward Bound from Cabul, the Staff descending the Cabul River" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a scene during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The image showcases a military staff making their way down the turbulent waters of the Cabul River. The soldiers are depicted as they journey homeward bound after their time spent in Kabul, Afghanistan. Their faces reflect weariness but also determination as they navigate through challenging terrain. The engraving was originally published in The Graphic on October 30th, 1880. It provides viewers with a glimpse into this historical event and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those involved in conflicts far from home. Preserved within a private collection and now part of Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, this artwork offers us an opportunity to delve into past events that have shaped our world today. Its depiction of courage and resilience resonates even beyond its original context. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of both the hardships faced by these soldiers and their unwavering commitment to duty. This piece stands as a testament to human strength amidst adversity and invites contemplation on themes such as war, homeland, and sacrifice.
