EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The War in the Soudan (Sudan): the Defences of Suakim, the Future Base of Operations" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The engraving, created in 1885, showcases the intricate illustrative technique of that era and exudes a distinct Victorian charm. The image depicts a strategic military stronghold with various redoubts and forts garrisoned by Egyptian troops and Royal Marines. Each structure serves as a crucial defense against the impending threat posed by the Mahdi forces. From the Left Redoubt manned by Egyptians to Forts Carysfort and Euryalus standing tall on distant hillsides, every element symbolizes resilience and determination. The composition highlights both natural and man-made elements seamlessly intertwined. The serene waters surrounding Suakim contrast sharply with these formidable fortifications, reminding us of the delicate balance between peace and conflict during this turbulent period.
