EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print captures a pivotal moment in the history of colonialism in Africa. The image depicts Anglo-Egyptian troops engaged in fierce combat against the Sudanese army during the years 1896-1898. The drawing by Wollen, created in 1898, is colored to bring to life the intensity of the battle on the battlefield.
The scene portrays the brutality and violence that accompanied European powers' efforts to colonize African territories. The flags of Great Britain and Egypt fly high as soldiers fight with guns and weapons, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction.
The image serves as a stark reminder of the impact of imperialism on indigenous populations, as native Sudanese fighters are depicted bravely defending their land against foreign invaders. The corpses scattered across the battlefield serve as a grim testament to the human cost of colonization.
Through this historical illustration, we are confronted with the harsh realities of colonialism - from invasion and conquest to resistance and loss. It is a poignant reminder of how power dynamics played out in Africa during this period, shaping its future trajectory for generations to come.
