Légende

'Gordon's Last Stand', c1900. '...the Arabs entered the town [of Khartoum in the Sudan]. They surrounded the palace, and their shouts aroused Gordon from his last sleep. At the head of the few remaining faithful he came out to face his doom. A fusillade of musketry gave him his last salute...'. The manner of Gordon's death is uncertain, but it was romanticised in paintings and hagiographical accounts. From "Heroes of History", by Alfred H. Miles, illustrated by Howard Davie [Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd, London]
