EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Afghanistan, Entrance to the Charsu, Candahar" takes us back in time to the 19th century. The image showcases a bustling street scene in Candahar (also known as Kandahar), Afghanistan's second-largest city. The intricate engraving by an English School artist beautifully captures the essence of this vibrant city. As we gaze at the print, our eyes are drawn to the grand entrance of Charsu, a renowned marketplace that has been a hub of trade and commerce for centuries. The architectural details on display are awe-inspiring, with intricately carved columns and arches that speak volumes about the rich cultural heritage of Afghanistan. The people depicted in traditional dress add life and color to this historical snapshot. They go about their daily activities, creating a sense of movement within the stillness captured by the engraver's hand. We can almost hear their chatter and feel their energy as they navigate through this busy thoroughfare. This remarkable piece was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic magazine in September 1880. It offers us a window into Afghan society during a time when it was less explored by outsiders. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we now have access to this extraordinary artwork from their private collection. This print serves as both a visual delight and an important historical document that allows us to appreciate Afghanistan's past while reflecting on its present-day reality.
