EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical city of Kartoum in Sudan as it appeared in 1884. The image is based on rough sketches made by General Gordon, a prominent British military figure, from his journals during his time at Kartoum. Published by Kegan Paul Trench & Co in London in 1885, this print offers a rare glimpse into the past. Kartoum, now known as Khartoum, was a significant location during this period due to its involvement in the Mahdiyah uprising led by Muhammad Ahmad, also known as the Mahdi. The city became besieged during this conflict and eventually fell to the forces of the Mahdi. The vertical composition of this print adds depth and detail to every corner of Kartoum's streets and buildings. It showcases both British and Sudanese influences on architecture and design prevalent at that time. Renowned artist Ken Welsh has skillfully brought these historical sketches to life with intricate details that transport viewers back to an era filled with political turmoil and cultural exchange between nations. This print serves as a valuable piece for history enthusiasts interested in exploring colonialism, cartography, or simply appreciating how cities have evolved over time. Its presence would make an excellent addition to any collection or display dedicated to preserving our shared human heritage.
