This photo print, titled "The War in Afghanistan, Citadel of Candahar, with the Principal Gate" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the tumultuous times of war and architectural grandeur. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases the imposing Citadel of Candahar in all its glory. Standing tall amidst a backdrop of conflict during the Second Anglo-Afghan War, this fortress-like structure symbolizes strength and resilience. Its principal gate serves as a testament to both its defensive capabilities and intricate design. As we delve deeper into this image, we can almost hear echoes from history reverberating through its ancient walls. Published in The Illustrated London News on August 7th, 1880, this illustration transports us to a time when wars were fought not only on battlefields but also within architectural marvels like the Citadel of Candahar.

Preserved within a private collection today, this engraving allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill behind it but also gain insight into Afghanistan's rich cultural heritage.
