EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of General Gordon, a prominent figure in the 19th century. The English School beautifully captures his commanding presence and military prowess. This particular illustration was featured in The Graphic on March 15,1884. The image transports us to Sudan, where General Gordon arrived in January 1876. His arrival marked a significant moment in history as he took charge of the region's military operations. The enchanting lakes and lush greenery surrounding him provide a serene backdrop against which his determination shines through. The architecture depicted hints at Khartoum, where General Gordon resided during his time in Sudan. His house stands tall and imposing amidst the landscape, symbolizing both strength and authority. General Charles George Gordon's legacy is deeply intertwined with this engraving. Known for his involvement in various conflicts such as Foweira (1874) and Gravesend (1865-71), he left an indelible mark on history through his military achievements. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this remarkable piece of art from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. As we admire this print today, let us reflect upon the courage and leadership exemplified by General Gordon during his time serving the nation.
