The Final Blow to Mahdism, the Battle of Omdurman - A Panoramic View of the Main Attack
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving captures the climactic moment in history when Mahdism met its ultimate defeat at the Battle of Omdurman. The artist, Frank Dadd, skillfully depicts the chaos and intensity of this pivotal event that took place on October 1,1898. In this panoramic view, we witness a scene filled with rushes and bullets as dervish cavalry wheel around amidst a storming British brigade. The clockwork precision of the 21st Lancers and Egyptian army is evident as they bravely face off against waves of dervishes commanded by their leader. The image showcases gallantry on both sides; Egyptian troops hurrying across the Blue Nile to support their comrades while wounded soldiers are carried away from the battlefield. Specks of dust rise from shells hitting ruins in Khartoum as warwicks fire upon dervish reserves. Amidst all this turmoil, General Wauchope and Major Williams can be seen leading their respective brigades with unwavering determination. From Heliograph Hill to Jebel Surgham, every inch is fought for fiercely by British forces including General MacDonald's Brigade and General Lewis's Brigade. As smoke billows from howitzer batteries firing relentlessly, one cannot help but feel awe at the sheer scale and magnitude of this historic clash. The black flag representing Khalifa's reign flutters ominously above Mahdi's tomb while zeribas crumble under relentless assault. This engraving serves as a testament to bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who fought in this battle - a final blow that marked an end to Mahdism once and for all.
