EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Afghanistan, Native Sports at Candahar" takes us back in time to the year 1880. The image showcases a vibrant scene of traditional sports being played in the city of Candahar, now known as Kandahar, Afghanistan. The print captures the essence of Afghan culture and its deep-rooted love for sports. In the foreground, we see skilled horsemen engaged in an intense game that seems to be a form of polo or perhaps a local variant. The riders display remarkable agility and control as they maneuver their horses with precision. Surrounding them are enthusiastic spectators who cheer on from all sides. Their colorful attire adds a touch of vibrancy to this historic moment frozen in time. It is evident that these native sports hold great significance within the community, bringing people together and fostering camaraderie. The artist behind this masterpiece is Samuel Edmund Waller (1850-1903), whose attention to detail shines through every stroke engraved on paper. This particular artwork was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic magazine on June 26th, 1880. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print today, it serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage found in Afghanistan's sporting traditions. It allows us to appreciate how these ancient games have endured throughout history despite changing times and circumstances - connecting past generations with those yet to come.
