Called Back - A Vision of General Gordon's Death in the Sudan
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and poignant political cartoon from the 1880s, created in response to the events unfolding in the Sudan during the Anglo-Egyptian Sudanese War. The image, published in September 1884, depicts British Prime Minister William E. Gladstone in deep contemplation as he gazes into the flames of a fireplace. Above the fireplace, a vision of General Charles Gordon's impending death in the Sudan is depicted, with the general standing defiantly amidst a chaotic battlefield. The cartoon, created by Alfred Bryan, reflects the growing concern and anxiety in Britain regarding the situation in the Sudan and the fate of General Gordon, who had refused to evacuate the city of Khartoum despite repeated orders from the British government. The image of Gladstone, a prominent and influential Victorian-era politician, seeing a vision of Gordon's death underscores the sense of foreboding and the weight of responsibility that rested on the shoulders of political leaders during this time. The cartoon also speaks to the broader context of imperial politics in the Middle East and Eastern Europe during the late 19th century. The Anglo-Egyptian Sudanese War was part of a larger power struggle for control of the region, with various European powers vying for influence and dominance. The image of Gordon, a hero to some and a controversial figure to others, stands as a symbol of the complex and often fraught relationships between European powers and the peoples of the Middle East during this period. Overall, "Called Back: A Vision of General Gordon's Death in the Sudan" is a striking and evocative representation of the political tensions and complexities of the late Victorian era, and serves as a reminder of the far-reaching consequences of imperial politics on the global stage.
