King Amanullah’s Victory Arch built to celebrate the 1919 Independence from the British. Paghman, Kabul Province

Built to commemorate Afghanistan's hard-won independence from British rule in 1919, King Amanullah's Victory Arch stands as a proud yet weathered monument to national sovereignty in the lush Paghman district outside Kabul. Simon Norfolk's photograph captures the arch's enduring presence against the landscape, bearing witness to nearly a century of turbulent Afghan history since its construction. This original signed and numbered print (4/10) is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity affixed to the reverse of the frame, bearing Norfolk's ink signature, date, and credit blindstamp.
