EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Afghanistan, Notes at Kandahar (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this ancient land. The image showcases a group of native officers from the 19th Bengal Lancers, standing proudly in their military attire. Among them is Lieutenant Miles, who appears to be engrossed in his notes. The engraving was created by an English School artist and originally featured in The Graphic on March 27,1880. It now resides in a private collection but has been made available for public viewing through Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. The scene depicted here transports us to Kandahar, one of Afghanistan's most significant cities. Its architecture stands as a testament to its illustrious past; notable landmarks include the Tomb of Ahmed Shah and Sultan Weiss Tomb. However, it is impossible to discuss Kandahar without acknowledging its tumultuous history: Shere Ali Khan, the founder of modern Afghanistan and governor of Kandahar until his assassination on January 10,1879. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder that behind every historical event lies stories of individuals - soldiers like Lieutenant Miles or influential figures like Shere Ali Khan - whose lives were intertwined with the fate of nations.
