EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the Second Anglo-Afghan War in 1879. The print, created by Marie, Adrien Emmanuel after an original illustration for The Graphic, offers a glimpse into the military life and activities of the Bombay Division during this tumultuous period. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a bustling military campfire at Jellalabad. Soldiers from the Bombay Division are seen returning from their expeditions, carrying warm numdahs and provisions acquired through bargaining with local Afghans. The camp is alive with activity as soldiers gather around mess tents and kitchens where food is being prepared. The artist skillfully captures the essence of daily life in these military camps. We see men clad in warm clothing against the harsh Afghan winter, while others engage in foraging missions to supplement their supplies. In one corner of the image, cabulese traders known as bunnias can be seen selling goods to soldiers eager to stock up on essentials. This engraving provides a vivid snapshot of not only the physical challenges faced by troops but also highlights cultural interactions between Indian soldiers and local Afghans. It serves as a reminder of both camaraderie among soldiers and their resourcefulness when faced with adversity. "The Afghan War, with the Bombay Division" transports us back in time to witness an important chapter in history while showcasing Marie's artistic talent for capturing intricate details that bring this momentous event to life.
