EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Battle of Omdurman, which took place on Friday, September 2,1898. The photograph is an engraving by an unknown artist from the 19th century and is currently housed in the Jesuit Library in Cairo, Egypt. The image transports us back to that fateful day when British forces clashed with Sudanese warriors. The scene depicts the chaos and intensity of war as soldiers engage in fierce combat. Dust clouds rise from beneath galloping horses while men brandish their weapons with determination. The Battle of Omdurman was a pivotal event during Britain's campaign to suppress rebellion in Sudan under the leadership of General Horatio Herbert Kitchener. This historic clash marked a turning point for British colonialism in Africa. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this poignant moment through his lens, preserving it for future generations to witness. His photography allows us to glimpse into this chapter of African and British history, showcasing both sides' bravery and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of the profound impact that wars have on nations and individuals alike. It serves as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity and stands as a tribute to those who fought valiantly on that fateful day over a century ago.
