EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "North-Western Afghan mountain troops fighting against the British" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Engraved by H. Koch, this powerful image showcases the bravery and resilience of the Afghan soldiers during the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1879-1881). In this scene, we witness a group of North-Western Afghan mountain troops engaged in fierce combat against British forces. The soldiers are dressed in traditional attire, donning skull caps and turbans that symbolize their Islamic heritage and cultural identity. With rifles at hand and muskets loaded, they stand united as defenders of their homeland. The intensity is palpable as these courageous warriors defend their land from foreign invasion. Their bucklers provide them with some protection while they skillfully maneuver through battlefields filled with chaos and uncertainty. This photograph not only captures a pivotal moment in Afghanistan's history but also serves as a testament to the unwavering spirit of its people. It reminds us of the countless battles fought throughout time for independence, freedom, and sovereignty. Preserved within the archives of Bibliothèque des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France; this historical gem continues to inspire admiration for those who have valiantly fought for their beliefs amidst adversity. Through this image, we honor these brave soldiers who stood firm against all odds to protect their beloved homeland from foreign intrusion.
