EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful wood engraving captures a pivotal moment during the Second Anglo-Afghan War, as British troops face difficulties in the Jugdulluk Pass on their way to reinforce General Roberts at Cabul (Kabul) in December 1879. The image depicts the challenges and obstacles that the soldiers encountered as they navigated through rugged terrain and harsh conditions.
The tension and urgency of the situation are palpable, with soldiers seen struggling to transport artillery and equipment through the narrow pass. Despite facing adversity, these brave men press on, determined to reach their destination and support their fellow comrades in battle.
The smoking soldier in the foreground adds a sense of realism and humanity to the scene, reminding us that behind every uniform is an individual with fears, hopes, and aspirations. The detailed engraving beautifully captures the essence of military life during this tumultuous period of conflict and imperialism.
As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the courage and resilience of those who fought bravely for their country. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by generations past in pursuit of freedom and justice.
