The Advance towards Dongola, the Battle of Ferket
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print by William Heysham Overend that depicts a pivotal moment in history. The scene showcases the intense military action during the Mahdist War in Sudan on June 7th. This artwork, part of a private collection, was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on July 18th, 1896. The lithograph vividly portrays the chaos and bravery exhibited by both sides involved in this dramatic battle. In the foreground, soldiers from the 11th and 13th Soudanese Battalions can be seen engaging fiercely with Dervishes while Major MacDonald and Major Hackett Pain lead their troops into combat. Alongside them are Captain Watson and Major Collinson, leading mules laden with ammunition to support their comrades. Intriguingly captured within this historical snapshot are Lord Edward Cecil, aide-de-camp to Sirdar (commander) Slain Pasha; Major Wingate; and other key figures who played crucial roles in this conflict. Amidst all the chaos, one cannot help but notice a horse being shot down while nearby lies a Baggara camp. Overend's masterful engraving technique brings forth every detail of this monumental event - from swirling dust clouds to determined expressions etched onto each soldier's face. It serves as a testament to not only his artistic prowess but also his ability to convey the intensity of war through visual storytelling
