EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a solemn and poignant moment in history. Titled "In Memory of Gordon, the Service among the Ruins of the Residency at Khartoum" this engraving by William Hatherell depicts a scene that took place after the Battle of Omdurman in Sudan. The image showcases a city devastated by war, with crumbling walls and ruins serving as a backdrop for an impressive gathering. The Union Jack flag flies proudly amidst the remnants of what was once a thriving residency. In this somber setting, detachments from the Anglo-Egyptian army stand alongside religious figures, paying their respects to General Charles George Gordon who lost his life defending Khartoum. As soldiers line up along the quay, an army band plays mournful tunes on bagpipes and other musical instruments. The atmosphere is filled with both sorrow and reverence as officers salute their fallen comrade while nearby civilians join in prayer and hymns. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifice and bravery during times of conflict. It immortalizes not only General Gordon but also all those who have given their lives in service to their country. Through its intricate details and historical significance, this artwork transports viewers back to that fateful day when honor was paid to one man's memory amid the ruins of Khartoum.
