Show moreSketchbooks illustrate travels and excursions done in Egypt and Sudan by the British lady Florence Attwood Mathews, the second daughter of British writer and doctor James John Garth Wilkinson (1812 – 1899). The contents of the sketchbooks stretch over the period 1898–1916, with particular emphasis on January–March 1898 and November 1913–July 1914. Volume I largely tracks Attwood-Mathews’s Nile cruise in early 1898, when she travelled on the post steamer Amenartas from Cairo to Khartoum. She was interested in the ongoing Mahdist War and the British involvement in it: one watercolor portrays six British military officers from various regiments travelling on board the Amenartas, while another shows a boat towed behind the post steamer with troops on board. Similarly, in Volume II, Attwood-Mathews chose to paint a couple of landscapes as much for their role in the conflict as any aesthetic appeal. A vista of two hilltops viewed from the Nile is described as follows: “Where the battle of Toski was fought, under these hills”. Meanwhile, the view from her hotel balcony in Khartoum is accompanied by the following caption: “Sand dunes where our troops lay the night before the battle of Omdurrman [sic]”. Atwood-Mathews’ interest in the Mahdist War continued after the end of the conflict in 1899, as evident from the many newspaper clippings pasted into Volume I, the latest dated 1916. Most of these are concerned with the events of the war and the people involved in it and include general reports (“The Soudan Crisis”, “Sirdar’s speech to the troops”), political coverage such as Sir Reginald Wingate’s succession as Governor-General of Sudan, as well as several “Romance of the Sudan” stories concerning Joseph Ohrwalder, a Roman Catholic priest held captive by Mahdists for ten years. Two of the three photographs pasted into the sketchbook show Mahdist leaders captured by British-Egyptian forces; Attwood-Mathews identifies them as Emir Abu Zeid, Emir Mahmoud, Emir Yunis al-Dikaym, and Osman, Khalifa Abdallahi’s son. The third photograph depicts a ‘plane above an Egyptian crowd. Interspersed with the watercolors, clippings, and photographs are numerous signatures, cartes-de-visite, and occasional inscriptions of British military and administrative figures based in the Nile region, including Sir Archibald Hunter, British Army General and Governor of Omdurman; Colonel E. S. Stanton, the Governor of Khartoum; the Governor-General of Sudan Sir Reginald Wingate; G. E. Matthews, Governor of the Upper Nile Province; Colonel Colin Scott-Moncrieff; and James Henry Butler Pasha, soldier and Governor of the White Nile Province. Clearly, Attwood-Mathews had both interest in and access to many of the key British colonial figures established in Egypt and Sudan in the early 20th century. However, she was undoubtedly also intrigued by the history and culture of the region in general, as evident in the collection of signatures by Egyptologists, including Howard Carter, E. A. Wallis Budge, Ernest A. T. Wallis, and A. H. Sayce. While many watercolors in Volume I depict landscapes painted from the deck of the Amenartas, there are also views of the pyramids of Giza, streets in Cairo, Nag Hammadi, and Khartoum, the Sidi Arif Mosque in Sohag, windmills and feluccas spotted along the river, as well as several studies of the everyday life of local Egyptians and Sudanese. The watercolors in Volume II, predominantly dated between late 1913 and early 1914, show a similar range in subject matter. Sunrise and sunset panoramas of the landscape near Abu Girgeh, Nag Hammadi, Denderch, and Khartoum dominate. However, there are street views of Cairo, Aswan, and Khartoum, two studies of the ancient Egyptian temples of Wadi es-Sebua and Amada in their original location prior to the relocation in 1964 due to the Aswan Dam project, as well as two pleasant portraits of local boys in Khartoum. Also included in Volume II is a loosely inserted watercolor (253 × 177 mm), dated December 1905, depicting locals at the waterfront in Beni Hasan. Title and date devised by Library staff. Sketchbooks with a contemporary beige cloth, beige closure strap, brush holder to top edge of rear boards. All watercolours with pencilled captions on the adjacent leaves. Ticket of London-based artist’s equipment shop L. Cornelissen & Son to rear pastedowns.
