EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Soudan Advance, Dervish Fugitives floating down the Nile to Berber" transports us back in time to the late 19th century. Created by Samuel Begg and published in The Illustrated London News on November 27,1897, this illustration captures a significant moment during the Soudan Advance. In this scene, we witness a group of tribal Dervish fugitives navigating their way down the majestic River Nile towards Berber. Their journey is fraught with uncertainty as they seek refuge from impending conflict. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings life to each figure aboard their makeshift boats. The river serves as both a lifeline and an escape route for these desperate individuals. As they float downstream, one can sense their trepidation and hope for safety amidst turbulent times. A tugboat accompanies them, symbolizing assistance and protection during their perilous voyage. Begg's skillful rendering invites viewers to contemplate not only the physical challenges faced by these fugitives but also the emotional toll of displacement and upheaval. This engraving offers a glimpse into history while highlighting themes of resilience, survival, and human migration. Preserved within private collections today, this print continues to serve as a poignant reminder of past struggles that resonate with contemporary issues surrounding forced migration worldwide.
