This pen and ink watercolour showcases Lieutenant John Day's topographical drawing, revealing a stunning view of the mountainous terrain. Located between Kabul and Jalalabad, the Jagdalak Pass holds great importance in Afghan history. It became a battleground during both the 1st (1839-1842) and 2nd (1878-1880) Afghan Wars.
