EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The War in the Soudan, Battle of Tamasi (or Tamanieb), 13 March" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Melton Prior and published in The Illustrated London News on April 5th, 1884, this print captures the intensity and drama of the battle that took place on that fateful day. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are immediately drawn into the chaos and turmoil of war. The scene depicts soldiers engaged in fierce combat amidst a barren desert landscape. Their faces etched with determination and courage, they fight valiantly against their adversaries. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of his brush brings life to this historical event. From billowing smoke rising from cannons to dust clouds kicked up by galloping horses, Prior masterfully conveys the sense of action and movement within this static medium. "The War in the Soudan" was a conflict between British forces led by General Gordon and Sudanese Mahdist rebels during the late 19th century. This particular battle at Tamasi (or Tamanieb) holds great significance as it marked a turning point in the war. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of both the bravery displayed by those who fought on that distant battlefield and the sacrifices made during times of war. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our ability to endure even under dire circumstances. Now preserved within a private collection
