EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Between Atbara and Wad Habesha, shooting Geese from the Roof of one of the Barges" by Thomas Walter Wilson takes us back to a moment in history during the Mahdist War. This remarkable artwork, part of a private collection, was originally published in The Illustrated London News on September 24th, 1898. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst the vastness of Sudan's River Nile. From atop one of the barges that traverse these waters, hunters take aim at a flock of geese flying overhead. The artist skillfully captures both the thrill and tranquility that coexist in this unique setting. As our gaze follows their line of sight towards distant horizons framed by golden hues, we can almost feel the anticipation building within these adventurous souls. With guns poised and hearts pounding with excitement, they prepare to unleash their shots into the sky. This image not only showcases an exhilarating hunting expedition but also offers a glimpse into life during a tumultuous period marked by conflict. It serves as a testament to humanity's ability to find solace and joy even amidst challenging times. Through Wilson's masterful craftsmanship and attention to detail, he transports us back over a century ago – allowing us to witness this thrilling moment frozen in time. As we admire this print today, it reminds us that art has an incredible power: it enables us to connect with historical events while appreciating beauty through different lenses.
