EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a historic moment in the late 19th century. Titled "With the Pamir Boundary Commission, a Shooting Match in the First Gymkhana held in the District" this print showcases an intense rifle shooting competition that took place during a major event. The image transports us back to Afghanistan, where soldiers from the Pamir Boundary Commission gathered for this prestigious gymkhana. The participants, dressed in military attire, exude determination and focus as they aim their rifles at distant targets. Among them stands Major Wahab, who is believed to be one of the champions of this world-class shooting match. The scene is filled with excitement and anticipation as onlookers watch attentively from behind a roofed structure. The engraving beautifully captures both the grandeur of the occasion and the ruggedness of its surroundings. Published originally in The Graphic on December 28th, 1895, this illustration offers us a glimpse into an era when such events were highly celebrated. It serves as a testament to not only military prowess but also camaraderie among soldiers stationed far away from home. Preserved within private collections today, this lithograph continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic detail. Its presence reminds us of our shared human history and invites contemplation about how times have changed since then.
