EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in Afghanistan" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this enigmatic land. The engraving, created by William Simpson after his experiences in Crimea, transports us to the rugged landscapes and ancient cities of Afghanistan. The image showcases a collection of sketches that were originally published in The Illustrated London News on August 16,1879. These sketches provide an intimate portrayal of life in Afghanistan during that time period. From Jellalabad to Jalalabad, we are taken on a visual journey through various locations such as Ahin Posh Tope, Kona Deh Tope, Kunar Valley, and Vihara. Each sketch captures intricate details of the topography and architecture unique to this region. It is evident that Simpson's keen eye for detail brings these scenes to life with remarkable precision. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it is important to appreciate its historical significance. This artwork not only serves as a testament to Simpson's talent but also offers valuable insights into Afghan culture and society during an era marked by exploration and discovery. Let this enchanting engraving transport you back in time as you immerse yourself in the beauty and mystique of Afghanistan's past.
