Lot 1
SUDAN and EGYPT. Working diaries of Carl Giegler Pasha for 1876, 1877, 1879, 1881-1887, contained in series of Lett's Rough Diaries. The earliest diaries deal with Giegler's travels in installing telegraph lines, but from August 1881 (when the first reference to the Mahdi is briefly recorded) the diaries are concerned with Giegler's actions in putting down the rebellion. Entries, however, are tantalisingly laconic, in contrast to a detailed and dramatic report which Giegler wrote in November 1882 to Sir Samuel Baker on his campaign. In May 1882, for example Giegler and his native force were defeated but made a remarkable recovery and were eventually victorious, all dramatically described to Baker, but rating little more than "completely defeated the rebells" in the diary. Apart from his letter to Baker Giegler also wrote a memoir of his service in the Sudan which was published in an edited edition in 1984: this presumably also drew on his diaries. In 1883 Giegler left the Sudan (his appointment to succeed Gordon as Governor General being blocked) and took a post in Egypt with the Suez Canal Company. Included with this lot are extensive research notes of the vendor. Laconic as the later diaries are, they provide a fascinating insight into the life of an important (if largely unknown to the general public) figure in the C19 history of the Sudan. The covers of all diaries show signs of wear to greater or lesser degree; one is rodent nibbled and damp affected. But contents are generally legible. (small box).
