Légende

The Amir Yakoob Khan and Sirdars of Kabul at Gandamak, Afghanistan, 29 May 1879. Amir Yakub Khan, son of the overthrown Sher Ali, travelled to Gandamak, a village just outside Jellalabad, to meet the British envoy Sir Louis Cavagnari. The gathering resulted in the signing of the Treaty of Gandamak under which Afghanistan became a British Protectorate, whereby the Amir ceded territories to the British and accepted a British envoy in Kabul. The Amir is seated in the centre. Daoud Shah, from the Ghilzai tribe, his commander-in-chief, sits at his right. Despite the treaty, the war in Afghanistan was not over.
