EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches of the Sudan" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Johann Nepomuk Schonberg in 1884, this engraving offers a glimpse into the diverse and vibrant world of the Sudan during that era. The image showcases Egyptian gendarmes en route through the Sudan, surrounded by an array of intriguing characters. Arabs, Bedouins, and shepherds donning traditional dress can be seen alongside military personnel. The bustling goods station and railways hint at a developing infrastructure in this region. As we delve deeper into the scene, we catch sight of dervishes and barbarians who add an air of mystery to this already mesmerizing composition. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures each figure with precision and skill. Through this artwork, we are transported to a time when Egypt sought control over its neighboring territories. It serves as a visual record documenting not only the landscapes but also the people inhabiting these lands.
