EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Khartoum, Sudan, East Africa: general view" and dated circa 1835, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Sudan and its ancient capital city, Khartoum. The photograph, which is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, captures the essence of a time long past, when the world was still largely unexplored and the wonders of Africa were just beginning to be revealed to the Western world. Located at the confluence of the White Nile and the Blue Nile rivers, Khartoum was a strategic and culturally rich city that played a significant role in the history of Sudan and the wider African continent. The image shows the city's bustling markets, where traders from various ethnic groups exchanged goods, and the impressive architecture of the mosques and palaces that dominated the skyline. At the time this photograph was taken, Sudan was under the rule of the Mahdist State, a theocratic Islamic state that emerged in 1881 and lasted until 1898. The Mahdist State was known for its military prowess and resistance to European colonialism, making it a formidable force in the region. The photograph captures the vibrant and diverse community that thrived in Khartoum during this period, with people of different faiths and ethnicities living and trading together. The image also provides a glimpse into the natural beauty of the area, with the lush greenery of the Nile banks and the clear blue waters of the rivers adding to the scene's serene and picturesque quality. Today, Khartoum remains an important cultural and economic hub in Sudan, and this photograph serves as a reminder of its rich history and the fascinating stories it holds.
