EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Afghan War, Cabul Expeditionary Force, 3rd Goorkhas on the March through the Terai" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Charles Robinson in 1878 for The Illustrated London News, this print offers a glimpse into the Second Anglo-Afghan War. In this scene, we witness the mighty and awe-inspiring sight of elephants leading the way as part of the expeditionary force. The majestic creatures symbolize strength and power as they navigate through the rugged terrain of Afghanistan's Terai region. Following closely behind are members of the 3rd Goorkhas regiment, known for their bravery and loyalty. The image captures both the military might and cultural diversity present during this campaign. The Gurkhas' distinctive uniforms stand out against the backdrop of vast landscapes, showcasing their unique identity within British colonial forces. Robinson's meticulous attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical event. We can almost feel the dust rising from beneath our feet as we join these soldiers on their arduous march towards Kabul. This engraving serves not only as a visual record but also as a reminder of past conflicts that have shaped nations and cultures. It is an invaluable piece that connects us with an era long gone while highlighting themes such as courage, camaraderie, and resilience amidst adversity.
