EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in history - the visit of the Duke of Connaught to The Great Nile Reservoir Dam at Assouan. Created by Samuel Begg, this print showcases the grandeur and importance of this iconic structure. The image depicts the Duke of Connaught entering the dam, surrounded by lavish decorations and accompanied by royal entourage. The scene is filled with excitement as workers can be seen diligently continuing their construction work on the dam's foundation. The magnificent stone structure stands tall against the backdrop of River Nile, symbolizing progress and human ingenuity. The visit holds great significance as it represents a milestone in Sudan's development and highlights its close ties with royalty. As depicted in this engraving for The Illustrated London News, published on March 4th, 1899, His Royal Highness witnessed firsthand the remarkable achievements made in constructing such an impressive reservoir. The presence of Her Royal Highness adds an air of elegance to this historic occasion. It is evident that both royals were deeply impressed by what they saw during their visit to Assouan. Perhaps they even left behind a congratulatory message or inscription commemorating their experience. This lithograph serves as a testament to not only Sudan's engineering prowess but also its ability to attract international attention and admiration from esteemed visitors like the Duke and Duchess themselves.
