EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Afghanistan (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural tapestry of this fascinating country. The image showcases an engraving by English School, found in a private collection, which was originally featured in The Children's Friend publication in 1888. The scene is bustling with life and activity, as we see various elements that define Afghanistan's heritage. A man walks confidently with a walking stick alongside majestic camels, symbolizing the importance of these animals in Afghan culture. In the background, we catch sight of Mountaineers traversing rugged terrain while carrying woven goods - a testament to their resilience and craftsmanship. The composition also highlights different aspects of daily life in Afghanistan. We witness locals engaged in prayer and weaving activities while others explore vibrant bazaars filled with fruits and perfumery products. These glimpses into traditional industries reflect the diverse skills and trades that have shaped Afghan society for centuries. As our eyes wander across the image, we encounter iconic landmarks such as Ishpola Tope and Khyber Pass, reminding us of Afghanistan's strategic location along ancient trade routes. Wildlife also makes an appearance; a tiger prowls nearby while dogs roam freely amidst bullock vans. Through this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported through time to experience the beauty and complexity of Afghanistan – its people, landscapes, traditions, wildlife – all captured within one frame
