Title:
'Nautch Girls.' These dancing girls would have performed for the Amir in his private chambers and were a popular motif for Indian photographers like Burke. Because they are not Muslim women, they could take employment as dancers and could show their faces to foreign photographers. Photographer(s): Burke, John (1843–1900)
Scope & Content:

Title:
'The Amir Yakub Khan, General Daod Shah, Habeebula Moustafi with Major Cavagnari C.S.I and Mr Jenkyns.' Proud and imperious, Cavagnari was chosen by the British as their envoy in Kabul knowing his arrogance would soon produce a casus belli. Within four months an angry crowd destroyed the Emabssy and Cavagnari and Jenkyns were dead. Photographer(s): Burke, John (1843–1900)

Title:
'Camp and Abattis At Sherpur. 5th Punjaub Infantry. 25th Dec 1879.' This picture was taken two days after one of the fiercest battles of the war. A force of 50,000 Afghans besieged and then attacked the cantonment and were repulsed by the defenders making special use of the new ‘Gatling’ machine guns. Why Burke didn’t photograph the aftermath is a mystery – more than 3,000 Afghan bodies lay on the battlefield. Photographer(s): Burke, John (1843–1900)
Scope & Content:

Title:
'Mackeson’s Bridge.' Long trains of pack animals carried all the British supplies from India through the passes into Afghanistan. Up to 40,000 camels were employed. In fact, so many were requisitioned from northern India that is thought that their loss set back economic development in the region by decades. Photographer(s): Burke, John (1843–1900)
Scope & Content:

Title:
Pakistani ‘jingle trucks’ end their long journey up from Karachi at the gates of Kandahar Airfield where they wait to be scanned, X-rayed and searched. Only people, ammunition and emergency requirements come by aircraft. Warlord-owned security companies protecting convoys can charge $15,000 per truck, but a large part of the fee is paid to Taliban protection rackets. Photographer(s): Norfolk, Simon (1963–)

Title:
'Attock from Khyrabad.' This picture of the military bridge across the Indus appeared in Burke’s Afghan albums but was actually shot in 1863 during the Ambela Campaign. It is signed by William Baker to whom Burke was apprenticed, but its inclusion in the folio suggests Burke may have made the picture himself (in Baker’s employment) or been present assisting Baker, learning his trade. Photographer(s): Burke, John (1843–1900)
Scope & Content:
