EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "The Advance towards Dongola, the Road through the Desert to Khartoum, seen from the Observatory Point on the Mountain at Korosko" takes us back in time to a pivotal moment in history. Created by Charles Auguste Loye, this artwork offers a glimpse into an expedition that unfolded in Sudan during 1896. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are immediately drawn to the vastness of the desert landscape stretching out before us. The rugged mountain at Korosko serves as our vantage point, allowing us to witness the remarkable journey ahead. The road leading towards Khartoum winds its way through this unforgiving terrain, symbolizing both challenge and opportunity. Intriguingly detailed, Loye's illustration transports us back to a time when exploration and conquest were intertwined. This image was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on April 4th of that year – a testament to its historical significance. Through Loye's skilled hand and keen eye for detail, we can almost feel ourselves standing alongside those brave souls who embarked on this arduous mission. It is a reminder of human resilience and determination against nature's harshest elements. This lithograph not only captures an important moment in Sudanese history but also showcases Loye's talent as an illustrator. With each stroke of his pen or brushstroke, he brings life and depth to this scene from long ago - inviting viewers like us to step into history itself.
