EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Great Bend of the Nile, with the Desert between Korti (Lord Wolseleys Head-Quarters) and Sir Herbert Stewarts Position above Metammeh" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases an engraving by an English School artist from the 19th century, depicting a crucial expedition during the Sudanese conflict. The scene unfolds with precision as we witness the vast expanse of the Bayuda Desert stretching between two strategic positions. On one side lies Korti, Lord Wolseley's headquarters, while on the other stands Sir Herbert Stewart's position above Metammeh. The intricate details of this artwork offer a glimpse into these historical locations along with their geographical significance. Published in The Illustrated London News on January 31st, 1885, this illustration served as both informative and visually stunning for its readers at that time. It provides valuable insights into how military operations were conducted amidst challenging terrains like deserts and rivers. As we observe this piece today, it serves as a reminder of human resilience and determination in overcoming obstacles during times of conflict. It also highlights the importance of understanding geography when strategizing military campaigns. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also its historical value in documenting past events that have shaped our world today.
