The Campaign at Suakin - A Glimpse into 19th Century Military Operations
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Campaign at Suakin" offers a fascinating insight into the military operations of the 19th century. Captured by an anonymous English School artist and now part of a private collection, this engraving was originally published in The Graphic on December 29,1888. The image presents a panoramic view of Suakin, showcasing various elements that characterized this campaign. From military huts and berber railway carriages to the bustling harbor and European cemetery, every detail tells a story. Notably, an iron band entanglement can be seen alongside stockade mortuaries and black troops arriving from Nile. The presence of modern technology is evident with electric lights illuminating the entrance gate and hospital tents. The campaign's strategic defenses include dug trenches and fortifications built around water forts while Gatling guns stand ready for action. Amidst the arid desert landscape lies an oasis-like town adorned with native huts, botanical gardens filled with exotic trees, and even scientific facilities dedicated to botany and meteorology research. As we delve deeper into this historical artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness the commencement of a significant military operation. This print serves as both a visual record of past events and an opportunity to reflect on how warfare has evolved over time.
