EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1900, offering a glimpse into the bustling city of Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. The image is an illustration from "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria" by Robert Wilson, Volume IV. It showcases a mesmerizing landscape along the River Nile, with various boats gracefully sailing through its waters. In this enchanting scene, we see traditional dhows and feluccas gliding effortlessly across the river's surface. These vessels were vital for transportation in Khartoum during that era. The Victorian architecture lining the riverbank adds an air of grandeur to this historic snapshot. Khartoum emerges as a vibrant hub of activity in this monochrome engraving. Its strategic location as a port on the Nile made it an important trading center at that time. The print beautifully captures both the natural beauty of Sudan's geography and its thriving urban life. Although created by an unknown artist, it is evident that their attention to detail brings out every nuance of this remarkable moment in history. This print serves as a testament to how transport played a crucial role in shaping cities like Khartoum during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the charm and allure of Khartoum over a century ago.
