Arthur Colonialism Council Evacuation Explorer Jephson Jeremy Letter Official Provinces Read Sudan Weapon
EDITORS COMMENTS
Arthur J.M. Jepson, a prominent British consular officer and explorer, intently reads the letter of authorization from the Khedive of Egypt, Ismail Pasha, to the Official Council in this colored engraving. Dated 1883, the letter grants permission for the Sudan Expedition, led by General Charles Gordon, to proceed with the evacuation of the Egyptian provinces in the Sudan. Jepson, dressed in formal attire, is seated at a table adorned with documents and a weapon, exuding a sense of gravity and importance. The room is filled with other officials, all attentively listening to Jepson's every word. The atmosphere is tense, as the decision to evacuate the Sudan would have significant consequences for both Egypt and the British Empire. This historical moment marks a pivotal point in the colonial history of Africa, as the British sought to expand their influence and protect their interests in the region. The Sudan Expedition, also known as the Mahdist War, ultimately resulted in the defeat of the Mahdist forces and the establishment of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. The intricately detailed engraving captures the essence of a critical moment in history, providing a glimpse into the political machinations of the late 19th century and the complex web of relationships between European powers and African nations.
