EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Mad Mullahs Rising in Somaliland" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II, this print captures the intense atmosphere surrounding the rising of the Mad Mullahs in Somalia. Set against the backdrop of a water-hole, we witness a tribal gathering that exudes power and determination. The scene is filled with horses galloping and men on horseback, symbolizing their unity and readiness for battle. The artist's attention to detail brings every figure to life, showcasing their traditional attire and fierce expressions. Woodville's work was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on July 6th, 1901. It provides viewers with a glimpse into an important event that shaped Somalian history. The Mad Mullah uprising was a resistance movement against British colonial rule led by Sayyid Muhammad Abdullah Hassan. This engraving serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. Its inclusion in private collections ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate the bravery and resilience exhibited by these Somali tribesmen during turbulent times. Bridgeman Images has made this remarkable piece available through Fine Art Finder, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to explore this powerful depiction of tribal culture amidst political turmoil in Somaliland over a century ago.
