EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a rare glimpse into the British-Afghan war. The image showcases an awe-inspiring overview of Kabul, Afghanistan's capital city during that tumultuous period. As we observe this historical engraving from a private collection curated by Santiago Ortega, it becomes evident that the photographer possessed great artistic strengths in capturing the essence of this war-torn region. The vertical composition allows our eyes to wander across the vast landscape, revealing both architectural marvels and signs of destruction caused by conflict. The intricate details etched onto this print transport us to a time when British forces were engaged in military operations against Afghan tribesmen. While the identity of the photographer remains unknown, their work serves as a powerful testament to how photography can preserve significant moments in history. This particular image evokes emotions ranging from curiosity about life in Kabul during those turbulent times to admiration for those who braved adversity on both sides of the conflict. As we delve deeper into this photograph's narrative, it is important to acknowledge its cultural significance rather than focusing solely on commercial use. It reminds us that heritage images like these are invaluable treasures that connect us with our past and shape our understanding of diverse societies worldwide.
