EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by William Heysham Overend in 1896, offers a vivid portrayal of the historic advance towards Dongola during the Mahdist War. The image depicts a pivotal moment in this conflict as Soudanese soldiers and their native carpenter allies charge forward with determination and courage. The scene is filled with palpable energy, as these brave warriors run along the riverbank, shouting triumphantly. Their unified spirit is evident as they board boats to cross the Nile River towards victory. The artist skillfully captures their camaraderie and friendship amidst the chaos of battle. Overend's attention to detail brings this historical event to life; every brushstroke communicates movement and urgency. The engraving showcases not only his artistic prowess but also serves as an invaluable record of this significant military campaign.
