EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View in Cabul: The Bala Hissar and Part of the City from Deh Afghan, c1880" takes us back to a significant episode of the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Captured by James Grant, this engraving showcases an elevated view of Kabul's skyline during the late 19th century. The image transports us to a time when British imperialism was at its peak, as it depicts the imposing Bala Hissar citadel dominating the landscape. This fortification symbolizes military power and control over Afghanistan's capital city. As we explore further into the frame, we see bustling streets filled with people going about their daily lives amidst these historical surroundings. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia and allows us to focus on the architectural details of each building that dots the cityscape. The majestic mountains in the background remind us of Afghanistan's breathtaking geography. This print not only serves as a visual documentation but also offers insights into British literature and geography during that era. It is a testament to how art can capture history and transport viewers across time and space. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us reflect on both its artistic beauty and its historical significance within the context of imperial expansionism during Britain's involvement in Afghanistan.
