This print showcases Charles George Gordon, an English soldier who lived from 1833 to 1885. The image captures Gordon in a unique and intriguing outfit - Chinese Mandarin dress. This wood engraving was created based on a photograph taken around 1864. Gordon's choice of attire reflects his fascination with different cultures and his adventurous spirit. Dressed as a Chinese Mandarin, he effortlessly blends into the vibrant fashion scene of the time. His hat adds an air of authority, while his middle-parted moustache exudes confidence.

He became known for his leadership skills and bravery during conflicts such as the Siege of Khartoum.

The Granger Collection has expertly preserved this historical moment through their meticulous reproduction process. This print serves as a reminder of Charles George Gordon's remarkable life and contributions to both English military history and cross-cultural exploration.
