The Troops Emerging from the Narrow Part of the Defile in the Koojah Pass - A Glimpse into Afghanistan's Untamed Terrain
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken from a sketch by James Atkinson and skillfully engraved by Charles Haghe and Louis Haghe, offers a vivid glimpse into a significant moment during the Afghan War. Published in 1842 by Henry Graves, this colour lithograph captures an awe-inspiring scene that showcases both the resilience of soldiers and the formidable landscape they navigate. In this image, we witness troops emerging triumphantly from a treacherous narrow part of the defile in Afghanistan's Koojah Pass. The rugged mountains tower above them as if to challenge their every step. These brave soldiers march forward with determination etched on their faces, undeterred by fatigue or danger. Their turbans flutter in sync with their rhythmic strides, symbolizing unity amidst adversity. The presence of camels adds an exotic touch to this scene; these majestic creatures serve as loyal companions to aid in transportation through such challenging terrain. With their heads held high and adorned with traditional hats, these soldiers embody strength and courage against all odds. Through this remarkable artwork preserved within private collections today, we are transported back to a time when conflict shaped history. It serves as a poignant reminder of both human resilience and nature's unforgiving beauty – elements that continue to define Afghanistan's rich cultural tapestry even today.
