EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "General Gordon" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into an important historical moment. The image portrays General Charles George Gordon as he enters the streets of Sudan, surrounded by military personnel. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation, capturing the essence of this significant event in history. General Gordon's commanding presence is evident as he confidently strides forward, his gaze fixed on the path ahead. His uniform exudes authority and strength, symbolizing his role as a military leader. The street scenes depicted in this print provide a fascinating insight into life during that time period. The architecture and bustling atmosphere transport us to another era, where horse-drawn carriages traverse cobblestone streets lined with curious onlookers. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on March 15th, 1884 - a testament to its historical significance. Preserved within private collections for years, it now resurfaces through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. As we admire this piece of artistry from Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, we are reminded of General Gordon's pivotal role in Sudan's history. His actions during the siege of Khartoum in 1879 left an indelible mark on both British imperial ambitions and local politics. This print serves as a visual gateway to explore not only General Gordon's legacy but also the rich tapestry of events that shaped our world centuries ago.
