EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Country round Candahar, Sirdar Troops" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the military landscape of Afghanistan. The image showcases the rugged topography surrounding the city of Candahar (now known as Kandahar), with its majestic mountains and vast plains stretching far into the distance. In this scene, we witness Sirdar Troops stationed in strategic positions across the terrain. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, they stand tall and vigilant against an awe-inspiring backdrop. Their presence serves as a reminder of the military might that once safeguarded this region. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to each element within the composition. From meticulously rendered soldiers to intricately depicted landscapes, this print captures both historical accuracy and artistic finesse. Originally published in The Illustrated Times on January 31st, 1857, this engraving provides valuable insight into a significant period in Afghan history. It allows us to appreciate not only the bravery and dedication of these Sirdar troops but also highlights the natural beauty that surrounds them. As we gaze upon this vintage masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are transported back in time—a testament to how art can preserve moments frozen forever within its frames.
