EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Khartoum Palace in Sudan, captured around 1890 by renowned artists Newton & Co. The grandeur of this architectural masterpiece is evident as it stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear sky. The palace holds historical significance as it was the site where General Charles George Gordon, the British Governor-General of Sudan, tragically lost his life during the Mahdist revolt on January 26th, 1885. The image portrays a sense of serenity with a lady gracefully standing outside one of its archways. Her presence adds depth to the photograph, highlighting both the scale and beauty of this remarkable structure. This monochrome depiction allows us to appreciate every intricate detail and architectural feature that makes Khartoum Palace truly unique. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time from over a century ago, we are transported back to an era when colonialism shaped nations and empires flourished. It serves as a poignant reminder of Britain's influence within Sudan during that period. Preserved through a lantern slide technique, this print has become an invaluable piece for historians and enthusiasts alike who seek to understand not only Sudan's past but also commemorate General Charles George Gordon's sacrifice in service to his country.
