EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Afghan Sketches (engraving)" takes us back to the vibrant and diverse culture of Afghanistan in the late 19th century. The engraving, created by Frank Dadd in 1879, beautifully captures a moment in time when different tribes and ethnicities coexisted harmoniously. In this intricate artwork, we see members of various Afghan tribes proudly displaying their traditional dress. Among them are representatives from the Arab community, including the Koreish tribe, who have adorned themselves with exquisite garments that reflect their rich cultural heritage. Additionally, soldiers from the 5th Bengal Cavalry can be seen standing tall and proud alongside local leaders such as Arbab Mir Ahmad Khan and Ressaldar Major Tajik. This engraving not only showcases the beauty of Afghan attire but also highlights the diversity within Afghan society at that time. It provides a glimpse into daily life in Lalpura's Kunar Valley, where people from different backgrounds peacefully interacted with one another. Through this historical image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of Afghanistan's long-standing history and its role as a melting pot for various cultures. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political turmoil or conflict throughout history, there is always an underlying thread connecting humanity through shared experiences and traditions.
