The Information given in red on this map is quite correct and is obtained from the studies of the Soudan Railway Survey of 1872 of which I was second in charge. W. Whitworth Sept. 10th 1884. There is a later state of this map (held by the National Library of Australia), with an addition to the title which states Revised from Sketches and Information furnished by Officers during the Campaign of 1884 - 1885. This would coincide with the siege of Khartoum and the death of General Gordon. Gordon arrived at Khartoum on 18 February 1884 and the siege took place between the 13 March 1884 and the 26 January 1885. The Mahdists hearing news of an approaching British relief column, stormed the garrison slaughtering the defenders to the last man, as well as 4,000 of the town's male inhabitants. Many of the surviving women and children were enslaved by the victorious Mahdists. Advance elements of the relief expedition arrived within sight of Khartoum two days after it fell. After discovering that they were too late, the surviving British and Egyptian troops withdrew. It is therefore possible that this map - designed for portability - was used by British officers in the relief column.

The book is considered a landmark text on the Near and Middle East, executed by an extraordinary explorer who has been called the “founder of the overland route to India” (ODNB). The book was originally designed to be published in four volumes, but only the first two were ever released, together with a map slip case containing 13 maps. This example retains the original slipcase.The Euphrates expedition was led by a British army officer, Colonel Francis Rawson Chesney. The main objective was to establish a route “between the Mediterranean Sea and His Majesty’s possessions in the East Indies by means of a steam communication of the river Euphrates”. Finding a shorter route to India was the hot topic of the time. The East India Company particularly, needed a solution to cut down the travel time between England and India. Chesney was involved in initial surveys in Egypt and the Middle East in the late 1820s where he had investigated the possibility of passage to India via the Red Sea and in 1829, submitted a report advocating the construction of the Suez Canal. He also brought to attention the feasibility of steam communication with India through the Euphrates. King William IV himself expressed a desire that the route by the Euphrates to India should be put to a practical test. The main task involved determining the depth, current and state of the river and this wealth of data was used in the compilation of detailed charts of the region’s waterways from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. The Euphrates project was shelved and the shorter route to India was eventually established in late 1869 via the Suez Canal. Nevertheless, Chesney’s survey proved an invaluable source of information on the region’s hydrography.
