The new statue of the late General Gordon in Trafalgar Square, 1888
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a significant moment in British history. This print showcases an impressive sculpture dedicated to General Charles George Gordon, also known as Chinese Gordon. The image portrays a man dressed in a military uniform, his hand thoughtfully resting on his chin. General Gordon was an influential figure during the 19th century, serving as an administrator and attache for the British Empire. His colonial exploits and dedication to duty made him a symbol of Victorian imperialism. This statue stands tall in Trafalgar Square, representing not only his military achievements but also the ideals of empire that prevailed during this era. The unknown creator of this artwork has skillfully captured General Gordon's pensive posture, evoking contemplation and reflection. The detailed illustration emphasizes every aspect of his attire - from the intricacies of his clothing dress to the precise rendering of his military uniform. This print is more than just a visual representation; it serves as a historical artifact that transports us back to 1888 when Britain was at its zenith as a global power. It reminds us of individuals like General Gordon who played crucial roles in shaping world events through their professions and contributions. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded not only of one man's legacy but also the broader concepts surrounding colonialism, war, and national identity that defined this period.
