Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into a time when military prowess and colonial expansion were at their peak. The focal point of the image is Major Jackson, a dismounted officer who now commands at Fashoda. His authoritative presence exudes confidence and leadership as he stands amidst his fellow officers. The horses surrounding them symbolize strength and power, emphasizing their role as formidable warriors. The location of this photograph is believed to be Kodok, Sudan, where these brave men were stationed during that period.
