EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to a significant moment in history during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The image depicts Lundi Khana, a cave nestled within the formidable Khyber Pass, where Sir Samuel Browne and his staff sought refuge on the night of 23 November. The artist, William Heysham Overend, masterfully captures the rugged beauty of this natural shelter as it provided solace for weary soldiers amidst their military campaign. With intricate detail and skillful shading techniques, Overend brings to life the essence of this historical event. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel the tension and anticipation that must have filled these rocky walls. The flickering light from campfires casts an ethereal glow across Sir Samuel Browne and his staff as they bivouacked within this ancient cave. It is a scene that speaks volumes about resilience and camaraderie in times of adversity. Published in The Illustrated London News on 11 January 1879, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an era long past but not forgotten. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely for their cause. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness history frozen in time through this remarkable artwork. Let us cherish its significance and honor those who came before us with gratitude for their courage and determination.
