EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Advance towards Dongola, the Egyptian Cavalry under Colonel Burn-Murdoch pursuing the Dervishes into the Neighbourhood of Suarda after the Battle of Ferket" captures a dramatic moment in history. Created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright in 1896, this print showcases a pivotal event during the Mahdist War. In this scene, we witness Colonel Burn-Murdoch leading his courageous Egyptian cavalry as they relentlessly pursue the retreating Dervishes near Suarda. The aftermath of the Battle of Ferket is evident from the dust-filled air and scattered remnants left behind on this arid Sudanese landscape. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; each horse gallops with fierce determination while their riders brandish weapons ready for action. The intensity and energy emanating from this engraving are palpable, immersing viewers in an atmosphere charged with adrenaline and anticipation. Wright's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to every stroke, enhancing both realism and drama. This historical illustration was originally published in The Illustrated London News on July 25th, 1896 – a testament to its significance at that time. "The Advance towards Dongola" serves as a reminder of humanity's resilience during times of conflict. It pays homage to those who fought valiantly against formidable odds for their cause. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it transports us back to an era where bravery knew no bounds and where
