The "Mosque of Goolaum Hoossein Huzrut-Jee, the Great Prophet of the Afghauns, and the Tombs of the Kings at Kandahar, plate 30" is an exquisite illustration from the renowned collection "Scenery, Inhabitants and Costumes of Afghanistan," engraved by R. Carrick and published in 1848 by James Rattray. This collection is a significant historical and artistic record, capturing the diverse landscapes, architectural marvels, and cultural richness of Afghanistan during the 19th century.

James Rattray, a British officer and artist, created these illustrations based on his experiences and observations during his service in Afghanistan. His works are celebrated for their detailed and vivid portrayal of Afghan life, architecture, and scenery, offering a rare glimpse into the region during a period of significant historical events, including the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839-1842).

Plate 30 specifically depicts the Mosque of Goolaum Hoossein Huzrut-Jee, a revered figure in Afghan history, often referred to as the Great Prophet of the Afghans. The mosque, an architectural gem, is illustrated with intricate detailing, showcasing its grandeur and spiritual significance. Adjacent to the mosque, the illustration features the Tombs of the Kings at Kandahar, which are monumental structures that serve as the final resting places for Afghan royalty. These tombs are depicted with a sense of reverence and historical importance, highlighting their role in the cultural and historical landscape of Kandahar.

Rattray's work, through the skilled engraving of R. Carrick, not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also as a valuable historical document. It provides insights into the architectural styles, religious significance, and the socio-political context of Afghanistan during the mid-19th century. The detailed engravings and the accompanying narratives in Rattray's collection have made it an essential reference for historians, art enthusiasts, and scholars interested in the history and culture of Afghanistan.
