EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Khartoum Expedition at Gakdul Wells during the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a pivotal moment in history that was published in The Illustrated London News on February 14,1885. The image transports us to a time when military forces embarked on a daring mission amidst the backdrop of Sudan's vast wilderness. A group of camels takes center stage, their majestic presence symbolizing resilience and adaptability in this unforgiving terrain. These magnificent creatures were essential for transportation and survival during the Mahdist War and the Khartoum Expedition. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are reminded of the diverse wildlife that coexisted with these brave soldiers. From bactrian camels to other wild animals dotting the landscape, nature's beauty is juxtaposed against man-made conflict. This print not only serves as a visual documentation but also stirs our curiosity about historical events that shaped nations and individuals alike. It invites us to reflect upon humanity's relentless pursuit for exploration and conquest while acknowledging how wildlife played an integral role in these endeavors. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an extraordinary piece from their Fine Art Finder collection.
