EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches at Aden" takes us back to the 19th century in a place filled with history and intrigue. The image showcases various scenes from Aden, a strategic port city located in Yemen. At first glance, we are drawn to the main pass gate standing tall against the backdrop of rugged topography. It serves as a gateway into this bustling hub of activity. As our eyes wander through the print, we notice a long tunnel leading towards isthmus barracks, where soldiers once resided during their time stationed here. The road depicted in the sketch seems well-traveled, hinting at the constant movement of people and goods within this vibrant trade center. A lighthouse stands proudly on Steamer Point, guiding ships safely into harbor amidst swirling waves. Further exploration reveals glimpses of daily life within Aden's military camp. We catch sight of Brigade Major's office and Royal Artillery Officers Mess House - places that witnessed important decisions being made by those who served their country. This print offers us an intriguing window into Aden's past; it allows us to imagine what life was like during this era when cultures collided and commerce thrived. It reminds us that even though time may have passed since these sketches were created for The Graphic newspaper in 1883, their historical significance remains timeless.
