EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking chromolithograph depicts the pivotal Battle of Omdurman, which took place on September 2, 1898, during the 2nd Sudan War (1896-1898). The image, published by G W Bacon and Company Limited in London in 1900, is a work of art by A Sutherland. The print captures the intensity and complexity of the engagement, with various phases of the battle unfolding in a single scene. British soldiers, dressed in their home uniforms, are prominently featured in the image. They are shown charging forward against the Sudanese forces, with smoke billowing from the guns and the clash of swords and shields creating a chaotic scene. In the background, British cavalry charges towards the enemy lines, while in the foreground, wounded soldiers are tended to by their comrades. The key to the image helps to identify the different elements of the battle, from the British infantry and cavalry to the Sudanese forces and their leaders. The Battle of Omdurman was a decisive victory for the British, marking the end of the Mahdist state in Sudan and the beginning of British rule in the region. This print is a testament to the bravery and determination of the soldiers involved in the battle and the historical significance of the event.
