EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Kabul, Afghanistan during the British-Afghan war in November 1878. The image showcases the entrance gate to this historic city, standing tall with a sense of grandeur and strength. The intricate architectural details on the gate reflect the rich cultural heritage of Afghanistan. As we delve deeper into the scene, our eyes are drawn towards bustling market bazaars that surround the gate. These markets serve as a vibrant hub for trade and commerce, where locals engage in lively exchanges amidst an array of goods and produce. The atmosphere is filled with energy as merchants proudly display their wares, inviting passersby to explore their offerings. The photograph's black and white composition adds a timeless quality to this historical moment frozen in time. It transports us back to an era when Britain's presence shaped Afghan history, leaving its mark on both nations. This remarkable piece belongs to a private collection curated by Santiago Ortega. Its origins remain unknown but it serves as a valuable testament to Afghanistan's past struggles and triumphs during this turbulent period.
