Légende

Jebel El Ain, near Obeid, Kordofan, in the Soudan, 1883. 'Jebel El Ain is an Arabic name, well known, and means "Mount of the Fountain". It is a hill about twenty miles south-east of El Obeid, where it is possible that Hicks Pasha's army may have suffered its defeat, as his route to El Obeid from Duem must have led him in this direction...It was at a spot similar to this that the final struggle between the forces of Hicks Pasha and the Mahdi took place. These views are copied from the French book of M. D'Escayrac de Lauture'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
