The image showcases an elaborate scene from a smoking concert held in Sudan during that time. In this vibrant illustration, we see military personnel from various regiments gathered together for an evening of entertainment. The stage is beautifully decorated with palm branches and ornate maps, creating an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation. Footlights illuminate the performers as they entertain their fellow soldiers. Amongst the crowd are members of the Rifle Brigade and Grenadiers, distinguished by their uniforms and rifles at their side. They eagerly await their turn to take part in the sing-song festivities while enjoying moments of respite from their duties. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every aspect has been meticulously captured, from the intricate decorations adorning the stage to each soldier's expression as they immerse themselves in amusement. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also provides valuable insight into how troops found solace amidst challenging circumstances.
