EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "An Afridi lookout, Khyber and Kohat Pass, Pakistan and Afghanistan, 1922" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by Holmes & Co. , this image showcases the rugged beauty of the region as well as the resilience of its people. In this photograph, we see a stoic male Afridi lookout standing tall at an outpost in the vast landscape between Pakistan and Afghanistan. His full-length figure exudes strength and determination as he keeps a watchful eye on his surroundings. The Khyber Pass and Kohat Pass serve as crucial routes connecting these two countries, making this sentry's role even more vital. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us to the 1920s when exploration was at its peak. As we gaze upon this scene from another era, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that exists within both Pakistan and Afghanistan. This artwork is part of "Peoples of All Nations: Their Life Today and the Story of Their Past" edited by JA Hammerton. Published by Educational Book Company in London during that time period, it aimed to provide readers with an insightful glimpse into various cultures around the world. Through this remarkable print created by Holmes & Co. , we are invited to appreciate not only the breathtaking landscapes but also acknowledge those who have dedicated themselves to safeguarding their nations' borders throughout history.
