John Burke (c. 1843 – 1900) was am Irish photographer, best known for his photographs of the Second Anglo-Afghan War between 1878 and 1880. He was born in Ireland, around 1843, where he was a tradesman. He applied for a job in the British Army as an official photographer but travelled to Afghanistan at his own expense[1][2] using heavy cameras that would have needed transporting on pack animals[3] through mountainous regions. Burke was the first significant photographer of Afghanistan.[citation needed] He died in 1900. Burke's photographs have been grouped in albums with those of Benjamin Simpson and other photographers, so definitive attribution is not possible for some of his works.
