The Afghan War, with Sir Samuel Browne
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a significant moment in history through the skilled artistry of John Charles Dollman. This engraving, dating back to 1879, offers a glimpse into the Second Anglo-Afghan War and its impact on British military operations. The scene unfolds at Jellalabad, where afternoon tea is being enjoyed amidst the rugged beauty of Afghanistan's stony plains. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness Sir Samuel Browne, an esteemed figure in British service, carefully selecting Afghan recruits for their forthcoming mission. Dressed in traditional attire, these potential soldiers eagerly await their posting under the watchful eye of Khan of Kunar. Dollman's artwork not only showcases his artistic prowess but also provides insight into the complexities and challenges faced during wartime recruitment. The composition beautifully juxtaposes elements such as camp life and military strategy against a backdrop that highlights both cultural diversity and shared experiences. This print serves as a reminder of the bravery exhibited by those involved in this historical conflict while shedding light on the intricate process behind building an army. As we delve into this visual narrative from our private collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how art can preserve moments that shape our collective memory.
