EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing general view of Kadm villages and the pass left of Jumrood in 1879. Taken by photographer John Burke during the Second Afghan War, this image offers a glimpse into the historical landscape of Jamrud, located at the entrance to the renowned Khyber Pass. Lieutenant-General Sir Samuel Browne led his Peshawar Valley Field Force from Jamrud towards Ali Masjid, an Afghan fortress they aimed to capture before advancing on to Jalalabad. The villages seen here, such as Kadm, were inhabited by members of the Afridi tribe who traditionally controlled tolls in this strategic region. John Burke accompanied the Field Force as an unofficial photographer, documenting their journey through his lens. This particular photograph is part of a larger album containing 100 captivating images captured by Burke circa 1878. The stunning topography showcased in this print highlights not only the beauty but also the significance of these villages and passes during that period. Preserved by eNational Army Museum in London, this historic photograph provides us with a visual portal into a crucial moment in time.
