Légende

Sketches in the Soudan: the Defile of Haraza, in Kordofan, 1883. 'Kordofan, the country in which Hicks Pasha was defeated and his army destroyed five weeks ago, lies west of the White Nile, nearly in the same latitude as Darfur and Sennaar, and between these two provinces of the Soudan...The country is not fertile, but is well suited to the rearing of cattle and horses, and its abundant gum-trees yield an article of much commercial value. Our Illustration of the scenery in the defile of Haraza, with the great mountain, Jebel Haraza, which is seen in the distance, has been copied from an engraving in a French book of travels recently published, "Le Desert et le Soudan," by M. le Comte D'Escayrac de Lauture. The trees are scarce, and seem to be artificially cultivated, each growing in a separate mound of soil collected for the purpose'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
