EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1897, capturing a moment in time at Ali Musjid, the fort guarding the entrance of the legendary Khyber Pass in Pakistan. The image showcases members of the Afridis, a proud Pashtun tribe, standing at the imposing gate of this historic stronghold. Dressed in traditional attire and donning turbans, these men exude an air of strength and resilience. With rifles slung over their shoulders, they stand as guardians of their land during an era dominated by British colonial rule. Their presence serves as a reminder of both cultural heritage and resistance against foreign influence. The architectural beauty of Ali Musjid is highlighted by its grand archway that frames this scene. Built during the British Raj period, it stands as a testament to history's turning point where East meets West. As we gaze upon this illustration from late 19th century England, we are transported to another time - one filled with intrigue and adventure along treacherous mountain passes. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents the spirit and courage embedded within these brave soldiers who protected their homeland with unwavering determination. Granger Art on Demand has once again provided us with an evocative glimpse into history through this remarkable print that celebrates both Pakistani culture and its rich historical tapestry.
