EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "With the British Garrison at Suakim, Red Sea" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Frederic Villiers in 1884, this print captures the essence of military fortifications and the bravery of soldiers stationed at Suakim. In this moonlit scene, we witness a dramatic night attack on Fort Carysfort. The British garrison stands strong against native attackers as they repel their assault with unwavering determination. The water forts surrounding them add an additional layer of defense, showcasing the strategic planning that went into protecting this vital location. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the fortified ramparts to the intense expressions on both sides of the conflict. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on July 12th, 1884 - providing readers with a vivid visual representation of events unfolding thousands of miles away. As we gaze upon this historical artwork now preserved within a private collection, it serves as a reminder of the courage and resilience displayed by those who served during this time. It allows us to reflect upon their sacrifices and appreciate their efforts in maintaining peace and stability amidst challenging circumstances. This print from Bridgeman Images not only showcases artistic talent but also provides valuable insight into an important chapter in global history.
