Summary

Author
Louis and Charles Haghe after drawing by James Atkinson.
Description
English: print depicts the moment when the Emir Dost Mohammed surrendered to the British envoy Sir William Hay MacNaghten in November 1840. Apparently, MacNaghten and his aides were out riding in the valley of Qila-Qazi near Kabul when the surrender, which was completely unexpected, occurred. The Emir remained in captivity until the end of the war when he was freed by the British who finally abandoned their attempt to intervene in the internal politics of Afghanistan.
