EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the First Anglo-Afghan War of 1838-1842. Created by artist James Atkinson, it depicts the British army passing through the breathtaking Meyden valley on their march from Meyden to Urghundee. The war was fought with the aim of preventing Russia's influence from expanding towards India. In this scene, we see a column of British soldiers making their way through the rugged terrain, accompanied by horses and camels. The soldiers are dressed in traditional military attire, showcasing both their strength and determination as they navigate through this challenging landscape. The composition beautifully showcases Afghanistan's natural beauty, with majestic mountains towering over the valley below. Ruins can be seen in the distance, serving as a reminder of past conflicts and colonialism that have shaped this land. Through Atkinson's lithograph technique, vibrant colors bring life to this historical event. It transports us back to the 19th century when Britain sought to maintain its dominance while facing resistance from Afghan forces. This image not only provides insight into warfare strategies and military presence during that time but also serves as a testament to Afghanistan's rich geography and cultural heritage. It is an invaluable piece of art that encapsulates an important chapter in history for both Britain and Afghanistan alike.
