GORDON IN CHINA, 1863 - 4, LEADING THE " EVER VICTORIOUS ARMY" : " The officers of his force were brave men enough, but were not always ready to face their desperate antagonists. Gordon, in his mild way, would take one or other of these by the arm, and lead him into the thick of the fire....He carried one weapon to direct his troops, he had but a little cane, and this soon won for itself the name of Gordons magic wand of victory.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Gordon in China during 1863-1864. Leading the "Ever Victorious Army". Gordon's bravery and leadership shine through as he fearlessly guides his officers into the midst of battle. The image depicts him gently taking one of his brave but hesitant officers by the arm, leading them towards their desperate antagonists. Despite being armed with only a small cane, this unassuming weapon becomes known as "Gordon's magic wand of victory". It symbolizes his exceptional ability to command and direct his troops amidst the chaos of war. This engraved image beautifully illustrates both Gordon's military prowess and his unique approach to leadership. The retro-styled print transports us back to Victorian times, offering a glimpse into historical arts and culture.
