EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Afghanistan, a Camel Ambulance at Kurrum" transports us back to the Second Anglo-Afghan War in 1880. The image depicts a scene of military urgency and innovation amidst the rugged terrain of Afghanistan. In the foreground, we see a group of camels harnessed together, forming an extraordinary camel ambulance. These majestic creatures have been utilized for centuries as reliable means of transportation across arid landscapes. Here, they serve as vital lifelines for wounded soldiers or those in need of urgent medical attention. The artist, John Charles Dollman, skillfully captures the essence of this unique mode of transport. His attention to detail reveals the strength and resilience exuded by these bactrian camels as they navigate through challenging terrains with their precious cargo on board. The backdrop showcases the vastness and harsh beauty of Afghanistan's landscape. It serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, nature's magnificence remains untouched. This historical print not only highlights the significance of camels in military operations but also provides insight into Afghan culture and its ability to adapt to its surroundings. It is a testament to human ingenuity when faced with adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that history often unfolds through unconventional heroes like these humble yet resilient animals - forever etched into our collective memory.
