The Afghan War, the Khyber Pass from the Summit of Ali Musjid
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the tumultuous era of the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The image depicts a dramatic scene from the Khyber Pass, as British forces led by Lieutenant General Sirs Browne make their way through this treacherous mountainous terrain. The print showcases the rugged beauty and strategic importance of this historic passageway between Afghanistan and Pakistan. As we gaze at the intricate topography of hills and valleys, our eyes are drawn to Sultan Turra, preceding village of Lala Chine, and Shengai Heights in the distance. These landmarks serve as reminders of both natural obstacles and potential vantage points for military operations. Intriguingly, we witness moments frozen in time: foot soldiers from the 4th Brigade halt their advance near Serkai Hill while Lieutenant General Sirs Browne consults with his officers about their next move. Meanwhile, other troops occupy strategic positions such as Kadur Peak and Ali Musjid's gorge. This engraving not only captures a significant moment in history but also highlights how geography played a crucial role during wartime campaigns. It serves as a testament to both human determination and nature's formidable power. As we contemplate this artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, let us remember those who fought bravely amidst these hilly landscapes during
