EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the bustling streets of Jellalabad, Afghanistan in 1879. The image, captured by John Burke, a British photographer active during the 1860s and 1870s, showcases the vibrant main street of Jellalabad with its remarkable covered Bazaar. The scene is alive with activity as locals go about their daily lives amidst a backdrop of traditional Afghan architecture. The covered Bazaar stands proudly in the center, its intricate design and rich colors drawing our attention. It is a testament to the craftsmanship and cultural heritage of this ancient city. As we gaze at this albumen silver print, we are transported into another time and place. We can almost hear the sounds of merchants haggling over prices and smell the exotic spices wafting through the air. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into an era long gone. It serves as a reminder that history is not just confined to textbooks; it lives on through images like these that capture slices of life from different corners of our world. This particular print allows us to appreciate both John Burke's skillful eye for detail and his dedication to documenting places far beyond his homeland. While we may never truly experience what it was like to walk down Jellalabad's main street in 1879, this photograph gives us an invaluable window into that world - one filled with culture, commerce, and community.
