EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "View of the village north of Agady in the Bertat region" offers a glimpse into a historical moment in Sudan. The print, part of Frederic Cailliaud's renowned work "Voyage a Meroe: au fleuve Blanc" showcases the talent and expertise of this French naturalist and mineralogist. In this scene, we witness an intense battle as Egyptian troops, led by Ismail, son of Mohammed Ali of Egypt, launch an attack on a peaceful village nestled amidst the hills. The composition beautifully captures the rugged landscape with its rolling hillsides dotted with traditional huts and houses. The village belongs to the Bertat people, an ethnic group residing along the border between Sudan and Ethiopia. This image not only serves as a visual documentation but also sheds light on their way of life prior to this unfortunate conflict. Cailliaud's lithograph transports us back to 1827 when he returned from his expedition along the Sudan-Ethiopian border. His surveying efforts resulted in this remarkable publication that showcased both natural wonders and cultural encounters. Through Godefroy Engelmann's skilled craftsmanship as a lithographer, every detail comes alive in this print – from soldiers fiercely attacking to villagers bravely defending their homes. It is truly fascinating how art can preserve history for generations to come. This particular photograph print provides us with valuable insight into African history while highlighting Cailliaud's dedication to exploration and documentation.
