EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Soudan Expedition, with Hicks Pasha a Force" takes us back to the 19th century and immerses us in an adventurous scene. The print depicts a moonlit ride through the vast desert of Sudan, as part of the military campaign led by Hicks Pasha. In this dramatic illustration for The Graphic newspaper from December 1883, we witness a momentary halt during the march. A group of soldiers on horseback can be seen on the left side of the image, their silhouettes blending into the darkness. They are accompanied by several camels carrying supplies and equipment for their perilous journey. The artist skillfully captures both the beauty and harshness of this unforgiving landscape. The moonlight casts an ethereal glow over everything it touches – illuminating sand dunes that stretch endlessly into the distance. Amongst these sandy hills stands Hicks Pasha himself, surveying his force with determination etched upon his face. His presence commands respect as he leads his men towards their destination – Berber. This engraving not only showcases a significant historical event but also highlights mankind's ability to conquer challenging terrains in pursuit of greater goals. It serves as a reminder of our relentless spirit and unwavering courage when faced with adversity. Bridgeman Images has once again preserved an extraordinary piece of art that transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance.
