EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the rugged terrain of 19th century Afghanistan. The image showcases the majestic Entrance to the Khyber Pass, a renowned geographical feature that has witnessed countless historical events throughout centuries. Standing proudly in the foreground is Fort Jamrood, an impressive fortification that guarded this strategic pass. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the stark beauty of this mountainous landscape. In perfect harmony with their surroundings, a group of camels gracefully traverse through the rocky path towards their destination. These resilient animals were essential for transportation across these challenging terrains. As we gaze upon this engraving from The Illustrated London News dated October 5th, 1878, we are transported to a different era - one where adventure and exploration were intertwined with danger and uncertainty. This print captures not only the physical features but also evokes a sense of awe at nature's grandeur and man's ability to build formidable structures amidst such harsh conditions. Although its creator remains unknown, this piece serves as a testament to human curiosity and our innate desire to document our world's wonders. It reminds us of Afghanistan's rich history and its significance as a crossroads between civilizations. Let this intriguing print be an invitation for us all to delve into forgotten chapters of history and appreciate both the resilience of nature and mankind's enduring spirit in shaping our world.
