Burke Afghan War

Camp Scene Jellalabad, John Burke #86, 1879


Some 130 years after his photographs of the Second Afghan War were made - among the earliest war photographs - John Burke's images inspired a modern photographer, Simon Norfolk, to visit Kabul and photograph today's signs of warfare.

The New York Times Magazine of April 24, 2011 covers the images, and a longer piece in the newspaper's online Lens by Kerri MacDonald explores the relationship between the works of two photographers in greater detail.
