Portrait of the Mehdi as depicted by Alfred Cotte
Alfred M. Cotte, L.L.D., sketches Mohammed Ahmed the Nubian Mehdi as a lean, holy visionary who shuns worldly life yet eyes the main chance. The piece traces his youth in Dongola and Khartoum, his austere vigil in a silo, and his rise after 1875 as he gathers wealth and wives, culminating in his self-proclaimed messianic status and clash with Hicks Pasha.
