EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the laying of the foundation stone of the Gordon Memorial College at Khartoum by Lord Cromer. Taken from The Winnipeg Tribune in 1899, this litho print showcases an event that marked a turning point for education in Sudan. Lord Cromer, with his distinguished presence, can be seen holding a mallet and hammer as he carefully places the foundation stone. His actions symbolize not only the physical construction of a college but also the building blocks of knowledge and progress for the Sudanese people. The image exudes an air of anticipation and hope as onlookers gather around to witness this historic occasion. The diverse crowd reflects Africa's rich cultural tapestry, reminding us that education is a universal right that transcends borders. The Gordon Memorial College itself holds great significance as it was established to honor General Charles George Gordon, who played a crucial role in Sudan's history. This institution would go on to become one of Sudan's most prestigious educational institutions, fostering intellectual growth and nurturing future leaders. Preserved within this private collection, this print serves as both a testament to Lord Cromer's dedication to education and an enduring reminder of Sudan's journey towards enlightenment. It stands as an evocative snapshot frozen in time, capturing not just bricks being laid but dreams being realized.
