de Lisle, GerardTHE NILE CAMPAIGN, 1884-1885: The Letters and Sketches of Rudolph de Lisle Naval officer Rudolph de Lisle chronicled his global travels through letters and sketches before perishing in battle. His letters home were embellished with stunning sketches and watercolours. In August 1884, Rudolph was selected to join the Naval Brigade in the Gordon Relief Expedition led by General Sir Garnet Wolseley. His principal role was to help drag troop boats over the six cataracts that blocked their way up the Nile to Khartoum. Rudolph's letters graphically describe this historic journey, and his sketches, some of which were published in the Illustrated London News, vividly portray the challenges facing the Expedition. This compiled and edited collection offers insight into this famous military campaign. Contains 60 color illustrations and 60 mono illustrations. 1 vol, 176 pgs 2024 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-dj, available late September 2024 ......$70.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our COLONIAL
