EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the bustling Native Vase Market at Omdurman, Sudan, circa 1910s. Omdurman, a city located in the north of Sudan, holds historical significance as the site of the Battle of Omdurman on September 2nd, 1898. The battle marked the decisive victory of the Anglo-Egyptian forces led by General Horatio Kitchener against the Sudanese Mahdist army, under the command of the Mahdi's successor, Khalifah Abdallahi. Winston Churchill, a young war correspondent at the time, famously rode with the 21st Lancers during the battle. Three Victoria Crosses were awarded as a result of the action, making it a pivotal moment in the Anglo-Egyptian conquest of Sudan. The photograph showcases a vibrant market scene, with native Sudanese vendors displaying their wares, including intricately designed vases and ewers. The marketplace, filled with the colors and sounds of the Sudanese culture, stands in stark contrast to the historical backdrop of the Battle of Omdurman. The ewers, a traditional water container, are skillfully crafted, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of the Sudanese people. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Sudanese people during the early 1900s, providing a valuable record of the region's history and cultural traditions. The Native Vase Market at Omdurman continues to be an essential part of the city's identity, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to experience the unique blend of history and culture that Sudan has to offer.
