EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historical city of Kartoum in Sudan, circa 1884. The image is derived from the renowned journals of Major-General C. G. Gordon, C. B. , published by Kegan Paul Trench & Co. in London in 1885. General Charles Gordon, an esteemed Governor General of Sudan, meticulously sketched a map that forms the basis for this lithograph. The photograph showcases Kartoum during a critical period when it was under siege and defending itself against external forces. This strategic city on the banks of the majestic River Nile became a symbol of resistance and resilience during this turbulent time in African history. Tuti Island can be seen prominently in the background, adding to the picturesque charm of this colonial outpost within the British Empire's dominion. The intricate details captured within this print provide valuable insights into both urban planning and military defense strategies employed during that era. It is worth noting that despite General Gordon's efforts to evacuate Khartoum before its fall to Mahdi forces, he tragically lost his life while fighting valiantly on these very grounds. This remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder allows us to delve into East Africa's past and witness firsthand an important chapter in Sudanese history.
