EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Maiwand - Saving the Guns" (1901), captures a significant moment in history during the Battle of Maiwand in Afghanistan. The Second Anglo-Afghan War was at its peak on 27 July 1880 when Emir Ayub Khan and an extraordinary woman named Malalai of Maiwand led Afghan forces to defeat a British brigade. This unexpected victory for the Afghans marked a turning point in the war. The image showcases the aftermath of the battle, with British soldiers seen capturing enemy artillery amidst the chaos and destruction. It is a testament to their resilience and determination even in defeat. The painting "Maiwand 1880: Saving the Guns" created two years after this event, further immortalizes this historic moment. Malalai's bravery deserves special mention as she rallied local fighters alongside Emir Ayub Khan, playing a crucial role in securing victory for her people. Her courage defied societal norms and left an indelible mark on Afghan history. This photograph serves as a reminder of both triumphs and losses endured by nations during times of conflict. It highlights not only military strategy but also individual acts of heroism that shape our understanding of historical events. Displayed within Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon past struggles while appreciating artistry that brings these moments to life.
