EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1895, capturing a hauntingly beautiful scene in the Khyber Pass, situated between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The focal point of this image is a ruined tope (stupa), an ancient Buddhist structure found across Asia. Its dilapidated state adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the landscape. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of this religious monument, showcasing its intricate design even in monochrome. The stupa's significance as a symbol of Buddhism is evident, standing tall amidst the rugged terrain that surrounds it. It serves as a reminder of centuries past when Buddhism flourished in these lands. This engraving comes from "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" authored by Elisee Reclus and published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London during that era. Through this publication, readers were able to explore different corners of our vast world through vivid descriptions and visual representations like this one. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a time long gone but not forgotten. It invites us to ponder on the rich history embedded within these ruins while appreciating their enduring beauty against the backdrop of nature's grandeur.
