EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Advance on Dongola, the Expeditionary Force leaving Fereig at Daybreak on the Way to Hafir" transports us back in time to a significant moment in history. The image depicts a scene during the Mahdist War in Sudan, capturing the departure of an expeditionary force at daybreak. As the first rays of sunlight pierce through the horizon, we witness a mesmerizing sight unfold before our eyes. Baggage mules and camels laden with supplies stand ready for their arduous journey ahead. The camel corps, led by British soldiers dressed in military attire, prepares to embark on this critical mission. The composition exudes a sense of anticipation and determination as these brave men set out into unknown territory. Their faces reflect both resolve and apprehension as they leave Fereig behind and head towards Hafir. The Sirdar himself can be seen amongst them, overseeing every detail with unwavering authority. The artist William Heysham Overend masterfully captures not only the human element but also showcases the majesty of these magnificent animals. From bactrian camels to other wildlife creatures that dot this landscape, each one adds depth and richness to this intricate engraving. "The Advance on Dongola" serves as a poignant reminder of historical events that shaped nations and altered destinies forever. It is an evocative snapshot frozen in time—a testament to courage, sacrifice, and humanity's unyielding spirit when faced with adversity
