About this work
H.H. the Amir Sher Ali Khan (1825-1879) taken in 1869 by John Burke, from the album 'The Afghan War, Attock to Jellalabad, Gandamak and Surkhab.' Albumen print, circa 240 x 295mm (This is the typical size of prints in this album, per Bonhams).
Per File:Sher Ali Khan of Afghanistan in 1869.jpg, this photograph of the Amir dates from 1869 from the Ambala Durbar [Umballa State Durbar, 1869, also spelt as "Darbar"] when he first entered into negotiations with the British. Burke reused it as part of the introduction to his Afghan War catalogue.
