EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful lithograph captures the intense and chaotic scene of The Battle of Abu-Klea, a significant event in British military history. General Stewart's small force of British and Egyptian troops faced fierce opposition from the Dervishes as they fought to occupy the Abu-Klea wells on that fateful day in January 1885.
The image depicts the moment when the enemy broke through the square formation, only to be driven back by the courageous soldiers who quickly restored order. Despite being outnumbered and facing a determined foe, these brave men fought valiantly to secure victory and claim their objective.
The artist, William Barnes Wollen, skillfully conveys the drama and tension of this historic battle with his detailed depiction of camels, soldiers, and combat. The black-and-white composition adds a sense of timelessness to this momentous event that forever changed the course of history.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who fought in defense of their beliefs and ideals. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and honors those who have served their country with courage and honor.
