EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back in time to witness an extraordinary military expedition. Created by Frederic Villiers in 1885, this print captures the essence of adventure and survival in the Sudanese desert. In this scene, we see a vast expanse of arid land stretching out before us, with camel lines forming an orderly entrance towards the Gakdul Wells. The wells themselves are occupied by soldiers and their camels, eagerly quenching their thirst after days of marching through harsh conditions. The general view reveals a pool of precious drinking water surrounded by stores and supplies essential for survival. Sir Herbert Stewart, leading the march, stands tall on his trusty Bactrian camel as he oversees operations. Amidst this military presence lies a glimpse into wildlife as well. Several animals roam freely in this untamed landscape, reminding us that nature thrives even in such challenging environments. Villiers' attention to detail brings every element to life - from the determination etched on each soldier's face to the rugged beauty of these magnificent creatures. This engraving not only showcases historical events but also celebrates resilience and camaraderie amidst adversity. As we gaze upon "The March to the Gakdul Wells" we are transported back in time and reminded of humanity's indomitable spirit when faced with daunting challenges. It serves as a testament to our ability to adapt and overcome obstacles while appreciating both human endeavor and nature
