EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the bustling city of Kandahar in all its glory. The photograph, taken from the Nakarra Khauneh, or Royal Band Room, offers a unique perspective of the city's principal bazaar and citadel. The image transports us back to 1848 when James Rattray skillfully engraved this scene as part of his collection titled "Scenery, Inhabitants and Costumes of Afghanistan". The lithograph captures the essence of a vibrant marketplace with merchants showcasing their wares under makeshift stalls while locals navigate through narrow alleyways. The Citadel stands tall in the background, serving as a reminder of Kandahar's rich history and cultural significance. Its imposing presence adds an air of grandeur to this lively scene. One can only imagine the stories hidden within its ancient walls. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate not just the beauty but also gain insight into life during that era. This print is a testament to human resilience and adaptability amidst changing times. As we gaze upon this remarkable landscape view, we are reminded that cities like Kandahar have always been centers for trade and cultural exchange throughout history. It serves as a timeless reminder that even in tumultuous times, markets continue to thrive as hubs for community connection and economic activity.
