EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph captures the remnants of Ghanzi, a fortress and citadel that witnessed the tumultuous events of the First Anglo-Afghan War from 1838 to 1842. The image showcases the remains of two minarets, standing as silent witnesses to a conflict that saw this strategic location change hands multiple times during intense hostilities. Printed in London around 1850 by Atkinson Afghanistan, this historical artwork offers a glimpse into an era marked by British imperialism in Asia. It serves as a testament to the power struggles and territorial ambitions that shaped world history during this period. The intricate details brought to life through hand-colouring enhance our understanding of the architectural marvels present within Ghanzi's fortress walls.
