Steve McCurry's image of Afghan refugee Sharbat Gula became National Geographic's most famous cover image. Photo: Steve McCurry MAX PRINT SIZE: 40x60' Sharbat Gula, at Nasir Bagh refugee camp near Peshawar, Pakistan, 1984 -Untold (pg. 81) National Geographic Magazine, Vol. 167, No. 6, June 1985, Along Afghanistan's War-torn Frontier. "The green-eyed Afghan girl became a symbol in the late twentieth century of strength in the face of hardship. Her tattered robe and dirt-smudged face have summoned compassion from around the world; and her beauty has been unforgettable. The clear, strong green of her eyes encouraged a bridge between her world and the West. And likely more than any other image, hers has served as an international emblem for the difficult era and a troubled nation." - Phaidon 55 The iconic image does not stand outside of time. Rather, it connects with the moment in a deeply profound way. Such as images are imbued with meaning, a significance that resonates deeply with a wide and diverse audience. McCurry's photograph of the Afghan girl is one such image. For many, this beautiful girl dressed in a ragged robe became a worldwide symbol for a nation in a state of collapse. Haunted eyes tell of an Afghan refugee's fears. -- Bannon, Anthony. (2005). Steve McCurry. New York: Phaidon Press Inc., 12.
