General Gordon, also known as Charles George Gordon, was an English soldier who met a tragic end in Khartoum on 26 January 1885. Despite his untimely death, his legacy lives on through various depictions and memorials. In 1893 (1906), the world mourned the loss of this brave military leader. A lithograph portrait captures his stern yet determined expression, showcasing his unwavering commitment to duty. General Gordon's valiant efforts during The Nile Expedition (1884-85) are immortalized in engravings that depict him being rescued by the Naval Brigade led by Sir Charles Wilson. One particularly striking image shows General Gordon alone and unarmed as he fearlessly rides into a slavers camp. This color lithograph showcases his courage and dedication to fighting against injustice. His captivating story even inspired works of fiction such as "Les Aventures D Un Prisonnier Du Mahdi, " which depicts the adventures of a prisoner held captive by the Mahdi forces during that time period. Another engraving portrays Zebehr Pasha, a prominent figure involved in The Nile Expedition for the Relief of General Gordon. This illustration serves as a testament to the collective effort made to save him from perilous circumstances. The Victorian Exhibition displayed relics associated with General Gordon, further emphasizing his significance in history. Visitors were able to witness firsthand artifacts connected to this revered military figure. To honor General Gordon's memory, a statue was erected in Trafalgar Square in 1888. Created by an unknown artist, it stands tall as a reminder of his bravery and sacrifice. Additionally, Lord Wolsely unveiled memorial windows dedicated to General Gordon and other officers at Rochester Cathedral—a tribute that ensures their heroism will never be forgotten. Even beyond England's borders, Li Hung Chang—an influential Chinese statesman—recognized General Gordon's impact on history. His hand-colored woodblock illustration is featured among Twelve Portraits - Second Series, published in 1899.
