EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph portrait, published in 1885, immortalizes the legendary figure of Charles George Gordon. Known as "Chinese Gordon" this English soldier left an indelible mark on history through his valiant efforts and tragic demise. The image depicts Gordon donning his military uniform adorned with numerous orders and decorations, a testament to his distinguished service. Gordon's story unfolds against the backdrop of imperialism in North Africa during the late 19th century. As a British soldier, he played a pivotal role in Sudan, where he was sent to oversee its evacuation by Egyptian forces. However, fate had other plans for him. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the events that unfolded on that fateful day - January 16th, 1885 - when Khartoum fell under siege by the forces of the Mahdi rebellion. Despite being overwhelmed by enemy troops and facing insurmountable odds, Gordon refused to surrender or abandon those who sought refuge within the city walls. His unwavering commitment to duty ultimately cost him his life but solidified his legacy as a hero willing to sacrifice everything for what he believed in. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures not only Gordon's physical appearance but also reflects upon themes such as bravery, loyalty, and imperialistic ambitions prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it serves as both a tribute to Charles George Gordon's courage and an opportunity for reflection on the complex narratives surrounding colonialism
