EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "War Correspondents on the Road to Khartoum" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Anglo-Egyptian forces' expedition during the Mahdist War in Sudan. Printed on 20th August 1898, this print captures a group of British war correspondents aboard "Barge no. 9" as they journey towards the city of Khartoum. The image provides a glimpse into the world of journalism during colonial times, showcasing three renowned reporters who risked their lives to bring news from distant lands. Among them are Bennett Burleigh from The Telegraph, W. Maxwell from The Standard, and H. Weldon from The Morning Post. As we observe this scene unfold before our eyes, we can sense both excitement and trepidation emanating from these brave journalists. They embarked on this perilous riverboat voyage with one purpose - to report firsthand accounts of the ongoing conflict between Anglo-Egyptian forces and local resistance fighters. Led by Horatio Herbert Kitchener, later known as Earl Kitchener, these troops had entered Sudan months earlier with hopes of quelling rebellion and securing control over this African colony. This lithograph not only serves as a historical document but also reflects upon the scramble for Africa that characterized European powers' quest for territorial dominance during Victorian times. With its intricate details captured through engraving techniques, this print transports us back in time and reminds us of the invaluable role played by war correspond
