EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, we are transported back to a momentous occasion in history - the annual dinner of the Savage Club where Lord Kitchener, the Conqueror of Omdurman, is being toasted by none other than The Sirdar himself. This remarkable print by Herbert Johnson captures a scene filled with camaraderie and celebration. The atmosphere is electric as distinguished guests from various walks of life gather around a beautifully set table. Smoke fills the air as men indulge in post-dinner cigars, adding an air of sophistication to the evening. The room is adorned with exquisite decorations and flickering candlelight casts a warm glow on their faces. Amidst all this grandeur, it is Lord Kitchener who commands attention. His presence exudes authority and respect as he stands tall at the head of the table. With his military achievements fresh in everyone's minds, he becomes both hero and inspiration for those present. As midnight approaches, glasses are raised high in tribute to this great conqueror. Little speeches are made amidst laughter and applause while politicians mingle with savages - an unlikely yet harmonious gathering that symbolizes unity among diverse cultures. This engraving not only immortalizes a significant moment but also serves as a testament to human triumph over adversity. It reminds us that even in times of war and conquests, there can be moments of joyous celebration where differences are put aside for common admiration.
