EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Sketch-Map of the Movements from January 17-21,1885" takes us back to a significant episode of the Mahdist War in Sudan during the late 19th century. The image is extracted from James Grant's renowned book, "British Battles on Land and Sea" which offers a comprehensive account of British military engagements. The print showcases an intricately detailed sketch-map that outlines the strategic movements undertaken by British forces between January 17th and 21st in 1885. It provides a visual representation of the direction and progress made during this critical period of colonial warfare. As we delve into this historical artifact, we are transported to an era dominated by imperialistic ambitions. The map symbolizes Britain's pursuit for dominance over foreign territories as it sought to expand its influence across continents. Through this monochrome depiction, we witness military manoeuvres executed with precision and calculated strategy. Each movement holds immense significance within the context of the larger conflict - the Mahdist War - which lasted from 1881 to 1899. This print not only serves as a testament to Britain's involvement in Sudan but also highlights how literature played a crucial role in documenting such events. It stands as a reminder of our collective past while offering valuable insights into both colonialism and imperialism during that time period.
