EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that takes us back to the intense atmosphere of the Mahdist War in Sudan during the late 19th century. This print, created by Samuel Begg and published in The Illustrated London News on July 2nd, 1898, offers a unique glimpse into an unexpected aspect of life amidst conflict. In this scene, we witness soldiers taking a break from their military duties to indulge in one of their favorite pastimes - horseracing. The Atbara Derby is about to commence, and excitement fills the air as racehorses line up for the thrilling competition. With its meticulous detail and vibrant colors, Begg's engraving transports us right onto the dusty racetrack where both soldiers and locals gather to witness this exhilarating event. The image not only showcases the resilience and adaptability of those serving on the front lines but also highlights how sport can provide solace and temporary respite from war's harsh realities. As these brave men cheer for their chosen horses with gusto, it becomes evident that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, humanity finds ways to celebrate life's simple pleasures. This remarkable lithograph serves as a testament to history's ability to capture moments that reveal our shared human experiences – be it through acts of bravery or moments of leisure. It reminds us that even in times of conflict, there remains an unwavering spirit within us all that seeks joy wherever possible.
