EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Second Cataract of the Nile, at Wady Halfa, Head-Quarters of the British Military Expedition" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the topography and military operations during the British Military Expedition in Sudan. The image showcases the majestic Second Cataract of the Nile River as it flows through Wady Halfa. The cataract's powerful rapids and rocky terrain create a dramatic scene that captures both its natural beauty and formidable challenges for those navigating its waters. In this particular view, we see what was once used as head-quarters for the British Military Expedition. The camp is bustling with activity; soldiers are seen going about their duties amidst tents and temporary structures that dot the landscape. This engraving provides valuable insight into how these military campaigns were organized and conducted during this time period. Originally published in The Illustrated London News on August 30th, 1884, this artwork serves as an important historical record of Britain's presence along one of Africa's most iconic rivers. It reminds us of past expeditions undertaken by explorers seeking to understand new lands while also asserting colonial power. Preserved within a private collection today, this print continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and rich historical significance.
