EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "With the Afghan Frontier Commission, on the Road from Quetta to the Helmund" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a scene filled with intrigue and adventure. The image depicts members of the Afghan Frontier Commission as they journey through rugged terrain from Quetta to Helmund. The composition is rich with details that transport us into their world: a beacon fire illuminates the night sky, leading their way; a military camp stands proudly amidst the desert backdrop; and a happy family gathers around, symbolizing unity and camaraderie. As we delve deeper into this artwork, our eyes are drawn towards Safiya - an enigmatic figure who seems to hold great significance within this expedition. Her presence adds an air of mystery and perhaps hints at her role as a guide or interpreter for these explorers. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this engraving serves as both documentation and storytelling. It was originally published in The Graphic on December 6th, 1884 - offering readers a glimpse into distant lands during an era of exploration and colonial expansion. Today, it remains not only as a testament to historical events but also as an invitation for viewers to imagine themselves embarking on daring journeys across unfamiliar territories.
