EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Khurd Khyber Pass, 1878" takes us back in time to a significant period in history. Captured by the talented photographer John Burke during the Second Afghan War (1878-1880), this image offers a glimpse into the rugged beauty of the Khurd Khyber Pass. As we observe this mesmerizing landscape, we are transported to a moment when Lieutenant-General Sir Sam Browne led the Peshawar Valley Field Force through this treacherous pass. Burke accompanied them as an unofficial photographer, documenting their journey with his camera lens. The Khurd Khyber defile served as the western entrance to this historic pass, which played a vital role in connecting Afghanistan and British India. Through Burke's lens, we witness not only the majestic mountains that surround us but also catch a glimpse of the tribes who called these lands home. This particular photograph is part of an album containing 100 images captured by John Burke circa 1878. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, it stands as a testament to both his artistic skill and historical significance. As we reflect on this remarkable piece of topography captured through photography, we are reminded of how art can transport us across time and space. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its historical importance within our collective memory.
