EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Citadel of Herat and Qala Iktyaruddin in Herat, Afghanistan, as depicted in L Univers Illustré in 1866. The engraving, created by a French School artist from the 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of these historic landmarks. Also known as the Citadel of Alexander, this fortified town stands tall with its impressive architecture and defensive structures. The citadel's grandeur is complemented by Qala Iktyaruddin, another remarkable fortress that adds to the city's formidable defense system. The image transports us back to a time when these buildings were at their prime. The intricate details of their exteriors highlight the architectural brilliance prevalent during that era. From every angle, one can appreciate how these structures seamlessly blend into the cityscape. Herat itself exudes an air of mystery and allure. Nestled in Afghanistan's middle eastern region, it serves as a testament to centuries-old civilizations that have shaped this part of Asia. This photograph offers us a glimpse into Afghan history and culture through its depiction of this ancient city. As we admire this visual masterpiece captured by Ken Welsh from his private collection, we are reminded not only of our shared human heritage but also of the resilience displayed by such enduring architectural marvels throughout history.
