EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "General Gordon in the desert" transports us to a time of heroic deeds and great men. The vibrant colours of this lithograph by Howard Davie, dating back to 1914-44, bring General Gordon's story to life. In the image, we see General Gordon standing tall amidst the vast expanse of the desert. His commanding presence is juxtaposed against the rugged terrain and endless dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see. A majestic Bactrian camel stands beside him, symbolizing resilience and adaptability in this harsh environment. The composition captures both the solitude and strength of General Gordon's mission in an unforgiving landscape. It is evident that he has formed a bond with his loyal companion, relying on its endurance for survival during their arduous journey through these barren lands. This print is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "Heroic Deeds of Great Men" published around 1900 by Raphael Tuck. The attention to detail in Davie's work allows us to appreciate not only General Gordon's bravery but also the beauty found within nature itself. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of humanity's ability to conquer adversity while respecting and cherishing our natural surroundings - an enduring testament captured within this single frame.
