EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "One of the New Afghan Boundary Pillars" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by William Simpson, a renowned Crimean war artist, this engraving showcases one of the newly erected boundary pillars in Afghanistan. The image was originally published in The Illustrated London News on August 20th, 1887. The photograph transports us to the rugged terrain of Afghanistan, where these boundary markers were strategically placed to demarcate borders and establish territorial claims. In the foreground, we see a group of majestic Bactrian camels gracefully standing beside one of these monumental pillars. These magnificent creatures symbolize resilience and adaptability amidst challenging landscapes. The composition beautifully captures both the natural beauty and cultural significance of this region. The intricate engravings on the pillar highlight its importance as a symbol of authority and control over vast territories. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded not only of the historical context but also of our connection with wildlife and nature. The presence of these animals adds an element of liveliness to an otherwise desolate landscape. This remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images serves as a visual testament to human endeavors in shaping boundaries while simultaneously celebrating the harmony between man-made structures and untamed wilderness.
