EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "Abu Nazzara Zarka" and created by the enigmatic artist Sanua, also known as Sannu, James Yaqub, or Abou Naddara, depicts a pivotal moment during the Mahdist War in Sudan in 1883. The Mahdist War was a significant conflict between the Mahdist State, led by Muhammad Ahmad, and the Anglo-Egyptian forces, who sought to reclaim control over Sudan. In this intriguing image, we see a humorous take on the conflict between the Mahdist forces and the Anglo-Egyptian army. The Mahdist warrior, with his distinctive blue glasses, stands triumphantly over a defeated British soldier. The caption below reads "March 3rd, 1883," indicating the date of the event being depicted. The artist, Sanua, was a master of lithography and is known for his satirical and political cartoons. Born in Egypt, he was active during a time of great political upheaval and social change in the region. His work often reflected the complexities and tensions of the time, making it an invaluable historical record. This particular cartoon, "Abu Nazzara Zarka," is a testament to the artistic talent and political acumen of Sanua. It offers a unique perspective on the Mahdist War in Sudan, a conflict that shaped the modern history of the region. The private collection that houses this piece is fortunate to possess such an important and fascinating work of art.
