In Memory of Gordon, Killed 26 January 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant chromolitho print by Lance Calkin that captures the solemnity and reverence surrounding the memory of General Charles George Gordon. Created as an illustration for The Graphic in 1899, this artwork pays tribute to the fallen hero who lost his life during the Battle of Omdurman. The print depicts a memorial service held in honor of Gordon, with representatives from various religious denominations present. Presbyterian, Methodist, Catholic, and Anglican figures can be seen united in prayer around a central monument dedicated to the revered general. Their collective grief and respect are palpable as they offer prayers and pay their respects. The artist skillfully uses black and white tones to evoke a sense of somberness while highlighting the diverse faiths coming together for this momentous occasion. The image serves as a reminder not only of Gordon's sacrifice but also of how religion can bridge differences and unite people in times of tragedy. This chromolitho print stands as both a historical document commemorating an important figure in military history and a testament to the power of faith in bringing communities together. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as duty, sacrifice, remembrance, and interfaith harmony – timeless values that continue to resonate today.
