EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fiat Justitia! The British Lion and the Afghan Wolves" captures a powerful political cartoon from Punch Magazine, dating back to 20th September 1879. Created by the renowned artist John Tenniel, this lithograph depicts an important moment in history during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The image portrays the British Lion standing tall and proud, symbolizing Great Britain's imperial might. Surrounding it are a pack of Afghan wolves, representing Afghanistan's resistance against colonial domination. This cartoon specifically alludes to a significant phase of the war when Sir Frederick Roberts led the British forces to victory over the Afghan Army at Char Asiab on 6 October 1879. Through this artwork, Tenniel masterfully conveys themes of imperialism, conquest, and aggression prevalent during that era. It serves as a visual commentary on Britain's pursuit of dominance and control over foreign territories under its colonial rule. This historical photograph offers us a glimpse into an intense period marked by conflict between two nations with opposing agendas. It reminds us of how art can be used as a medium for social and political critique while shedding light on complex historical events. As we observe this striking image today, let us reflect upon its significance in understanding past struggles for power and sovereignty while appreciating Tenniel's artistic prowess in capturing such intricate narratives through his work.
