EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1885 showcases the legendary figure of General C. G. Gordon, a remarkable individual whose exploits shaped history. Known as the "Suppressor of the Taeping Rebellion" in 1863, Gordon's unwavering determination played a pivotal role in quelling this significant uprising in China. The print also highlights his subsequent achievements as the "Pacificator of the Soudan" between 1874 and 1879, where he successfully brought stability to this troubled region. The image depicts General Gordon with an air of authority and resilience, reflecting his reputation as a defender par excellence. His tenure as the "Defender of Khartoum" is particularly noteworthy, symbolizing his unyielding commitment to protecting this Sudanese city against hostile forces. Engraved using illustrative techniques popular during the Victorian era, this vintage print exudes a distinct retro charm that transports us back to the 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail captures not only General Gordon's physical features but also conveys his indomitable spirit through subtle nuances. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Liszt Collection's archives, we are reminded of General C. G. Gordon's enduring legacy—a man who fearlessly confronted challenges on multiple fronts and left an indelible mark on both military strategy and international diplomacy.
