1930ref. 234711930. Sudanese women children and men in village photo archive from the 1930s when Sudan remained under Anglo-Egyptian rule a colonial arrangement lasting from 1899 to 1956. Rural Sudan in this period was governed through "Native Administration" introduced in the 1920s which placed many local communities under chiefs and customary courts while British officials controlled taxation policing and regional policy. This small format photo archive of posed locals was likely taken by a western traveler for anthropological study and documentation. Photo archive of 8 silver gelatin photos measuring 2.5" x 3.5" each. Women and girls carry baskets and bundles smile directly at the camera stand beside mud-plastered walls and pose with children held against their shoulders. Two boys sit inside a narrow wooden or metal container while a robed man stands alone in bright sun. The emphasis is intimate rather than official showcasing faces clothing hair head coverings jewelry domestic labor and childhood presence. The 1930s were also the years after the Gezira Scheme opened in 1925 when colonial Sudan became increasingly tied to cotton production irrigation and export agriculture. Sudanese communities were subjected to heavy taxation labor controls and agricultural policies designed largely to serve British imperial trade especially cotton production for overseas markets. Colonial administrators reshaped local economies through irrigation schemes transportation projects and systems of indirect rule that strengthened some local authorities while restricting political independence and contributing to deep regional inequalities that continued after Sudanese independence in 1956. Minor fading and edge wear; photos remain crisp and clean. Overall very good condition. These portraits sit apart from that administrative record preserving everyday Sudanese cultural life under colonialism. unknown
1889Very Good English Original red cloth bdg. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. [xiv], 277 p., 5 military plans, (3 foldings), and 1 folding map of Sudan Campaign's military plan (57x39,5 cm). Fading on cloth, an ex-library stamp on colophon, light soiling to extremities. Otherwise a good copy. First edition of the first volume of this rare set on the Sudan Campaign, including an eyewitness account of Colvile, an English colonel (later major-general) during the campaign. The presented first volume includes that the forces of the Mahdist movement spreading across Sudan, and threatening General Charles Gordon in Khartoum, while Lord Garnet Wolseley moves slowly south down the Nile. The second and third volumes (including maps only) are missing. By 1882 the Mahdist Army had taken complete control over the area surrounding Khartoum. Then, in 1883, a joint British-Egyptian military expedition under the command of British Colonel William Hicks launched a counterattack against the Mahdists. Hicks was soon killed and the British decided to evacuate Sudan. Fighting continued however and the British-Egyptian forces which defended Khartoum in a long siege were finally overrun on January 28, 1885. Virtually the entire garrison was killed. General Charles Gordon, the commander of the British-Egyptian forces, was beheaded during the attack. In June 1885 Ahmad, the self-proclaimed Mahdi died. As a result the Mahdist movement quickly dissolved as infighting broke out among rival claimants to leadership. Hoping to capitalize on internal strife, the British returned to Sudan in 1896 with Horatio Kitchener as commander of another Anglo-Egyptian army. In the final battle of the war on September 2, 1898, at Karari, 11,000 Mahdists were killed and 16,000 were wounded. (Source: Black Past online). Henry Edward Colville was born at Kirkby Hall, Leicestershire, as the son of Charles Robert Colville and Hon. Katherine Sarah Georgina Russell. Trained at Eton, Colville entered the Grenadier Guards in 1870, followed by his assignment in 1880 as A.D.C. to General Sir Leicester Smyth commanding the forces in South Africa. Colville served in the Intelligence Department of the Suakin Expedition of 1884, distinguishing himself at the Battles of El Teb and Tamai. He was employed on special service in Sudan prior to the Nile Expedition of 1884-85 and after having served in that Expedition, he received the assignment of Chief of the Intelligence Department of the Frontier Force. Following the Battle of Ginnis in the Mahdist War, Colville was promoted to the rank of Colonel and was attached to the Intelligence Department at headquarters. In 1893 he was appointed Commissioner (Acting) for Uganda where he commanded the Unyoro Expedition receiving numerous awards and a promotion to Major General on April 12, 1898. Prior to his retirement in 1901, Colville served as Commander, Infantry Brigade, Gibraltar and Guards Brigade, and 9th Division, South Africa 1899-1900.
