EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Chitral Bridge, an engineering marvel of the late 19th century, located in the picturesque valley of Chitral, Pakistan. The bridge, built in 1895, is depicted here with one of its protective stone towers standing proudly at one end. Major Biddulph, a British military officer stationed in Chitral, described the bridge as 'excellent' and noted that it was 'half a mile above the fort' for added protection. The Chitral Bridge was a vital link in the communication and trade network between the lowlands of India and the remote Chitral Valley, which was strategically important due to its proximity to the border with Afghanistan. The bridge's construction was a significant event in the history of Chitral, as it facilitated the movement of people and goods and helped to strengthen the British presence in the region. The bridge's design was simple yet effective, with two stone towers at each end supporting the arches that spanned the river. The towers were not only functional, providing support to the bridge, but also served as defensive structures, making the bridge a formidable fortification against potential invaders. This photograph, taken in 1895, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bridge as it once was, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of the rugged terrain and clear blue skies. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the engineering prowess of the past and the rich history of this beautiful valley.
