EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate "Plan of Attack on Peiwar Kotal" during the Anglo-Afghan War on December 2,1878. The detailed map, created around 1880 by James Grant for his book "British Battles on Land and Sea" showcases the strategic military maneuvers in Paktia Province, Afghanistan. The monochrome drawing depicts the rugged mountainous terrain surrounding Peiwar Kotal, a significant geographical feature that played a crucial role in this historic battle. British forces led by Lord Frederick Sleigh Roberts meticulously planned their assault to overcome formidable challenges presented by nature itself. The print offers a glimpse into 19th-century warfare tactics as it highlights key positions, lines of attack, and troop movements. It serves as both an artistic representation and a valuable historical document illustrating Britain's military strategy during this conflict. Lord Roberts' expertise is evident in this visual depiction of his plan to secure victory against Afghan forces defending Peiwar Kotal. His meticulous attention to detail ensured that every aspect was considered before launching the attack. As we observe this image today, we are reminded of the significance of geography and topography in shaping military campaigns throughout history. This print not only reflects Britain's imperial ambitions but also provides us with insights into the complexities of war planning during the late 19th century.
