EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of General Gordon, a prominent figure in the 19th century. The image captures the essence of his military prowess and leadership as he commands imperialist troops during a rebellion in China. Standing tall and resolute, General Gordon is depicted alongside Surgeon Major Andrew Moffitt, highlighting their crucial roles in this historical event. The scene takes us back to November 1863 when General Gordon served as the Principal Medical Officer for the Ever Victorious Army. In this intense moment, they are seen storming through the chaotic streets of Soochow and Tai Ping under Gordons' command. This powerful depiction encapsulates both the bravery and determination exhibited by these soldiers amidst fierce opposition. Notably, this engraving also portrays Li Hung Chang, a significant Asian figure who played a pivotal role in supporting General Gordon's mission. Together with his Chinese allies, they fought against rebellious forces led by Futai Ping—a testament to international cooperation against common adversaries. As we delve into this extraordinary piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, it serves as a reminder of Asia's rich history and its dynamic relationship with Western powers during that era. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also gain insight into important events that shaped our world today.
