EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a rare banknote from Sudan, dating back to the year 1885. Measuring at a modest 6.4x10.2 cm, this pressboard print is currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. The banknote was issued during the governorship of Major-General Charles George Gordon, also known as Gordon of Khartoum and Gordon Pasha. A significant figure in history, his leadership left an indelible mark on Sudan during colonial times under British rule. As we gaze upon this relic from a bygone era, we are transported back to a time when Africa was under the influence of various European powers seeking control and dominance over its vast resources. This banknote serves as a tangible reminder of Sudan's place within the British Empire and its complex relationship with colonialism. Its intricate design on both sides reflects not only financial value but also cultural significance for the people of Sudan. The obverse side features detailed illustrations that pay homage to local traditions while incorporating symbols associated with British imperialism. Preserved meticulously by Bridgeman Images, this print captures not just an artifact but also tells a story about money, power dynamics, and historical legacies that continue to shape our world today.
