"Interior of the City of Kandahar from the House of the Sirdar 'Meer Dil Khaun' Brother of the King of Caubul" is a notable work by the 19th-century British artist Lieutenant James Rattray. This artwork is plate 23 from his acclaimed collection titled "Scenery, Inhabitants and Costumes of Afghanistan," which was published in 1848. The collection is a significant visual record of Afghanistan during the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839–1842), a period of intense British interest in the region.

The plate depicts a view of the city of Kandahar, one of Afghanistan's principal cities, as seen from the residence of Sirdar Meer Dil Khan, who was the brother of the then ruler of Kabul, Dost Mohammad Khan. Rattray's work is not only an artistic representation but also an important historical document, providing insight into the urban landscape and architectural styles of Kandahar during the early 19th century.

James Rattray, an officer in the British Army, was also a skilled artist and writer. His works are characterized by their attention to detail and the ethnographic accuracy of the scenes and costumes depicted. The engraving for this particular plate was executed by R. Carrick, contributing to the dissemination of Rattray's observations to a wider audience in Britain and beyond.

Rattray's collection, including "Interior of the City of Kandahar from the House of the Sirdar 'Meer Dil Khaun'," is valued not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the understanding of Afghan society and culture during a pivotal moment in the region's history. The series of lithographs serves as a rare and valuable visual account of Afghanistan at a time when such depictions were uncommon in the West.
