"The Afghan Girl"
Sharbat Gula posing with her portrait on the cover of 1985’s National Geographic.The image itself was named “the most recognized photograph” in the history of the magazine.
"Sharbat Gula (born ca. 1972) is an Afghan woman who was the subject of a famous photograph by journalist Steve McCurry. Gula was living as a refugee in Pakistan during the time of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan when she was photographed. The image brought her recognition when it was featured on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic Magazine at a time when she was approximately 12 years old. In January 2002, a National Geographic team traveled to Afghanistan to locate the subject of the now-famous photograph. The team finally located Sharbat Gula, then around the age of 30, in a remote region of Afghanistan." (Article)
