EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Bird's-Eye View of Defences of the Sherpore Cantonment, showing Positions of the Troops in Garrison" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist during the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the second Anglo-Afghan War. The scene depicts the strategic military stronghold known as Sherpore Cantonment, with its intricate network of defenses and troop positions meticulously illustrated. The topography is beautifully captured from a bird's-eye perspective, allowing viewers to appreciate both the natural surroundings and man-made structures that played crucial roles in this conflict. Amongst these defences stand various regiments such as the 28th Native Infantry, 23rd Punjab Pioneers, and 14th Bengal Light Infantry. The troops are shown alongside artillery units, sappers, guides, and even cavalry forces like the 92nd and 67th Cavalry. This comprehensive representation showcases not only their presence but also highlights their strategic placements within this complex terrain. As we delve into this historical artwork further, it becomes evident that every detail has been carefully crafted to provide insight into Lieutenant Generals Guard's operations during this tumultuous period in Afghanistan's history. It serves as a testament to both military strategy and artistic skill. Preserved within private collections today but originally published in The Illustrated London News on February 28th, 1880; this engraving continues to captivate audiences with its rich historical significance
