EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts the Telegraph Map of Upper Egypt, compiled by the Intelligence Branch of the War Office in 1882. The map, which has a scale of 1:4,000,000, is one of five maps that likely belonged to Captain George Frederick Wilson, Royal Engineers, who served as the Superintendent of Works on the Sudan Military Railway during the First Sudan War from 1884 to 1885. The map provides a detailed and accurate representation of Upper Egypt during a pivotal period in its history. The map is an essential record of the geography and infrastructure of Upper Egypt at the time, with an emphasis on the telegraph lines that were crucial for communication and coordination during military campaigns. The map's intricate detailing of the Nile River, its tributaries, and the various settlements along its banks is a testament to the surveying skills of the Royal Engineers. The First Sudan War, also known as the Mahdist War, was a significant conflict in the history of Egypt and the Sudan. The war began in 1881 when a Muslim religious and political movement, led by Muhammad Ahmad, challenged the rule of the Egyptian Khedive Tawfiq and the Ottoman Empire. The conflict lasted until 1885 and resulted in the establishment of the Mahdist State in Sudan. Captain Wilson's maps played a crucial role in the military efforts during the war. The maps provided essential information for the planning and execution of military campaigns, the construction of the Sudan Military Railway, and the establishment of telegraph communication lines. The map's historical significance lies not only in its role during the war but also in its value as a primary source for understanding the geography and infrastructure of Upper Egypt during this period.
