EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the dramatic scene of "Gordon's Last Stand" in Khartoum on 26 January 1885. Created by George William Joy, this print showcases the heroic and tragic moment when Charles George Gordon valiantly defended the town against unrest and military aggression. The image portrays a chaotic battlefield, with smoke billowing from cannons and gunfire illuminating the night sky. In the center stands Gordon, resolute and determined amidst the chaos surrounding him. His commanding presence exudes both bravery and vulnerability as he leads his men in their final stand. The artist skillfully conveys movement and action through intricate engravings, capturing every detail of this historic event. The intensity of emotions is palpable; one can almost hear the shouts of soldiers, feel their adrenaline-fueled agitation, and sense their unwavering commitment to defend Khartoum. "Gordon's Last Stand" serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and heroism in times of turmoil. It immortalizes an important chapter in Sudanese history while honoring those who fought for what they believed in. This powerful print is part of a private collection but has been made accessible to art enthusiasts through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its inclusion in The Graphic publication on 24 September 1898 further solidifies its significance as an iconic representation of courage under fire.
