EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Bamian of the idols" takes us on a visual journey to Afghanistan in the early 20th century. The image, part of a private collection, showcases the remarkable artistic talent of the American School from that era. The print is an illustration for Charles F Horne's book, "The World and its People" published in 1924 by Ira R Hiller in New York. It beautifully captures the grandeur and significance of Bamian, an ancient city known for its monumental Buddha statues. As we gaze at this artwork, we are transported to a time when Buddhism flourished in this Middle Eastern region. The towering figures depicted here represent the Great Buddha sculptures that once stood proudly against a backdrop of majestic mountains and valleys. The intricate architectural details showcased in this lithograph highlight not only the skillful craftsmanship but also serve as a testament to religious devotion. These public monuments were revered symbols of faith and played an essential role in shaping local culture. Through this art piece, we can appreciate both the natural beauty surrounding Bamian and its cultural heritage. The mountainous landscape with its high peaks adds depth and drama to this representation. Overall, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating artistry, religion, architecture, geography, and sculpture all within one frame. It serves as a reminder of our rich global heritage that continues to inspire generations even today.
