EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable textile print titled "Jibbah, Dervish, 1898". Created by the Sudanese School in the 19th century, this artwork is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The jibbah depicted here holds great historical significance as it is associated with the Battle of Omdurman during the Second Sudan War (1896-1899). The jibbah was an essential part of the uniform worn by soldiers of the Dervish army in Egypt and Sudan between 1885 and 1886. However, this particular jibbah appears to be ceremonial rather than functional. Its delicate fabric and intricate patchwork set it apart from other jibbahs of its time. This image offers a glimpse into African culture through its depiction of traditional dress. The dervish robes worn by soldiers are beautifully captured, showcasing their unique style and craftsmanship. The jibba serves as a symbol of pride for these warriors who fought bravely during turbulent times. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical artifact through their fine art photography. This print allows viewers to appreciate not only the artistic value but also gain insight into Africa's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and provides an opportunity to reflect on past events that have shaped our present-day world.
