"Atmaran Hindoo of Peshawar, plate 9 from Scenery, Inhabitants and Costumes of Afghanistan" is a notable work from the 19th century that offers a visual and ethnographic insight into the region of Afghanistan and its bordering areas. Created by the British artist Lieutenant James Rattray, the plate is part of a larger collection that was published in 1848, aimed at documenting the diverse landscapes, people, and traditional attire encountered during the period of the Great Game and British imperial interest in Central Asia.

The plate itself features Atmaran Hindoo, a Hindu resident of Peshawar, a city that has historically been a cultural and economic hub in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of modern-day Pakistan. Peshawar was of strategic importance during the British Raj, serving as a gateway to the Afghan frontier. Rattray's work is significant as it captures the essence of the local inhabitants during a time of considerable political and social change.

Engraved by Robert Carrick, a Scottish engraver known for his meticulous craftsmanship, the plate is a fine example of the detailed and delicate work that characterized engravings of the era. Carrick's contribution to the piece ensured that the nuances of Rattray's original sketches were preserved and translated into prints that could be widely disseminated.

James Rattray, the artist behind the series, was an officer in the British Army and an amateur painter and ethnographer. His artistic endeavors provided a unique perspective on the region, blending his military observations with a genuine interest in the local cultures. "Scenery, Inhabitants and Costumes of Afghanistan" stands as a testament to his dedication to capturing the visual richness of the Afghan frontier.

The plate, along with the rest of the series, holds historical significance as it documents the attire, physical features, and cultural attributes of the people of Afghanistan and its environs during the mid-19th century. It serves as a valuable resource for historians, anthropologists, and art historians interested in the visual representation of Central Asian cultures during the time of the British Empire.
