EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The fighting of the Gambia, the naval brigade, under Captain Gamble, retreating to their boats at Mandini Creek" transports us back to a momentous event in history. The scene depicts a tense retreat as Captain Gamble leads his naval brigade towards their waiting boats along the shores of Mandini Creek. The artist from the 19th century English School masterfully captures the intensity and urgency of this pivotal moment. Intriguingly, this illustration was originally published in The Graphic on March 24th, 1894. It offers a glimpse into an era when conflicts were fought not only on land but also across vast bodies of water. As we observe this image closely, we can almost hear the sounds of battle echoing through time - clashes between opposing forces and confrontations that shaped nations. The presence of HMS Raleigh hints at the involvement of larger naval vessels in this conflict. We are left wondering about what led to this fight in Gambia and how it unfolded on those sandy shores. This print serves as a reminder that even remote corners like Mandini Creek have witnessed significant historical events. As we delve deeper into this artwork by Bridgeman Images, we find ourselves immersed in its rich details - from brave troops retreating amidst chaos to tugboats awaiting their precious cargo. It is through such visual records that we gain insight into past struggles and honor those who fought for causes greater than themselves.
