EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The War in the Soudan, Massowah, from the Second Island, showing the Causeway" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by William Heysham Overend and engraved with meticulous detail, this artwork offers a glimpse into an event that unfolded during the late 19th century. Set against the stunning backdrop of Massowah's coastal beauty, we are transported to Eritrea's second island. The causeway stretches out before us, serving as both a physical connection and symbolic representation of conflict. As we observe this scene, it becomes evident that war has left its mark on this picturesque landscape. Intriguingly dressed figures dotting the shoreline hint at traditional customs and cultural diversity amidst turbulent times. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of how local communities were impacted by these historical events. Through this engraving commissioned for The Illustrated London News in February 1884, W. H. Overend skillfully captures not only the physicality of war but also its far-reaching consequences along coastlines and maritime regions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, let us reflect on how art can transport us through time and space while shedding light on important moments that have shaped our world today.
