EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Bahr-El-Gazelle, c1881-85" takes us back to a significant episode of the Mahdist War in Sudan during the late 19th century. The image, originally featured in James Grant's book "British Battles on Land and Sea" transports us to a bustling river scene filled with men and boats. In this snapshot of history, we witness the busy activities along the river as men row their boats through the waters of Bahr-El-Gazelle. The monochrome setting adds an air of nostalgia, emphasizing the colonial era when Britain was involved in various geographical expeditions. The print showcases not only transportation but also highlights elements of art and literature. It serves as a reminder that historical events can be captured through visual mediums like engravings, leaving behind valuable records for future generations. As we delve into this rich piece of artwork, it is impossible not to contemplate the impact of imperialism and colonialism on countries like Sudan. This particular image represents a moment from the Sudan campaign during the Mahdist War—a conflict that shaped South Sudan's history. "The Bahr-El-Gazelle" print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how transportation played a vital role in British battles abroad while shedding light on lesser-known aspects of 19th-century geography. Through its intricate details and moored ships along the riverbank, this photograph invites us to explore both historical context and artistic expression simultaneously.
