EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lithograph, titled "Kwettah Kandahar Gate, 1839 circa" takes us back in time to the tumultuous period of the British Army's campaign in Afghanistan. The print, created by Sir Keith A. Jackson and published by W H Allen and Co and T McLean, offers a glimpse into the topography and architecture of this historic town. The image showcases the imposing Kwettah Kandahar Gate standing tall against a backdrop of vast plains. Its intricate design and sturdy structure symbolize both strength and resilience. However, behind its grandeur lies a tale of hardship endured by Sir John Keane's Army of the Indus during their expedition into Afghanistan. As they fought their way through treacherous terrain like the Bolan Pass, supplies dwindled to alarming levels. Mismanagement led to severe food shortages that pushed soldiers and camp followers to near mutiny. In an effort to survive, daily rations were halved. This print serves as a reminder not only of historical events but also highlights the importance of logistics in military campaigns. It captures a moment frozen in time when soldiers faced adversity while stationed near Quetta in Baluchistan. Preserved within this artwork is not just an architectural marvel but also echoes of sacrifice made by those who served during this challenging period. It stands as a testament to human endurance amidst harsh conditions—a visual representation etched with history for generations to come.
