EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Khyber Chiefs and Khans, 1878-79" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by the talented photographer John Burke during his time accompanying the British Army in the Second Afghan War, this image offers a glimpse into an era of conflict and cultural exchange. In this group portrait, we see a landscape filled with rocky terrain and fortifications, serving as a backdrop for an assembly of Khyber Chiefs and Khans. Dressed in their traditional military uniforms, these proud men exude strength and resilience. Their turbans symbolize their heritage while also providing protection from the harsh elements. Resting after what must have been arduous battles, these warriors showcase an air of camaraderie amidst their differences. The presence of British officers alongside them highlights the complex dynamics at play during this period of colonialism. The photograph's composition draws our attention to each individual's unique features - weathered faces that tell stories of bravery and sacrifice. It is through images like these that we gain insight into historical events often overlooked or forgotten. Preserved by the National Army Museum in London, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to both Burke's skill behind the lens and the enduring legacy left by those who fought on foreign soil over a century ago.
