EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Afghan Portraits" takes us back in time to the year 1879, when it was first published in The Illustrated London News. Created by Frank Dadd, a renowned artist of that era, this engraving captures the essence of Afghan culture and its people. The image showcases a diverse group of individuals from different tribes and regions within Afghanistan. Each portrait tells a unique story through their traditional dress and distinctive features. From the khan of Lalpoora to Mohammed Gunge, Upper Momunds to Khugiani of Murkhi Kheyl, every face reflects pride and resilience. Amongst them stands a Tajik attendant dressed elegantly in his cultural attire while an Utmanzai Momund exudes strength and determination. Hassan from Dakka gazes into the distance with wisdom etched on his weathered face, representing the experiences he has endured throughout his life. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also provides valuable historical insight into the rich tapestry that is Afghanistan's past. It reminds us of the diversity within this nation and highlights the importance of preserving cultural heritage. As we admire these Afghan portraits frozen in time, we are transported to an era where tradition intertwined with modernity. This artwork allows us to appreciate both individual stories and collective history while celebrating the beauty found within each face captured by Frank Dadd's skilled hand.
