EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures Umeer Dost Mohammed Khan, a prominent figure from the Characters and Costumes of Afghanistan. Published in 1843 by Captain Lockyer Willis Hart, this colour lithograph showcases the ruler who once governed Eastern Afghanistan during the 19th century. In this portrait, Umeer Dost Mohammed Khan stands tall against a mountainous backdrop, representing his strong connection to his tribal roots. His rugged appearance exudes power and authority as he dons traditional Afghan attire, complete with an elegant turban and sabre at his side. Despite living in a male-oriented society deeply rooted in Islamic traditions, Umeer Dost Mohammed Khan's influence extended beyond just being a Pashtun leader of Afghanistan. He was also known for his skills as a scribe and held the title of king. Notably present beside him is an attendant - perhaps one of his loyal subjects or confidants - adding depth to the composition. Additionally, a maid can be seen in the background performing her domestic duties diligently. This print not only offers us insight into Afghan history but also serves as a reminder of the diverse roles individuals played within their society during that time period. It is through images like these that we are able to appreciate both cultural heritage and individual stories that shape our world today.
