EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Kandahar Lady of Rank, Engaged in Smoking" transports us to the enchanting world of Afghanistan in the mid-19th century. The image, captured by James Rattray and engraved by Robert Carrick, is a part of the renowned collection "Scenery, Inhabitants and Costumes of Afghanistan". In this particular plate, we witness a woman of high social standing indulging in one of her leisurely activities - smoking a hookah. Dressed elegantly in traditional attire, she exudes an air of grace and sophistication. Her ornate orientalist slippers add an extra touch of opulence to her ensemble. The composition beautifully captures not only the lady's striking features but also the intricate details that surround her. The delicate wisps escaping from her pipe create an ethereal atmosphere while emphasizing her engagement with this ancient tradition. Through this photograph, we are granted a glimpse into a culture rich with history and customs that have stood the test of time. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend boundaries and connect us with distant lands. As we admire this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us appreciate its ability to transport us back in time while celebrating both the artistic talent behind it and the enduring beauty found within different cultures around our world.
