Baron Vivant Denon made a drawing of a column on the same occasion as his long-distance drawing (this column may be discerned on its right-hand side).
Grenfell and Hunt make no mention of this column, nor do they show it on their plans; it must have vanished by the time of their first visit in 1897.
The lower part was presumably buried in sand; at any rate, it must have been buried in 1897-1907 because Grenfell and Hunt do not mention it either, but it was partially visible by the time of Petrie’s visit in 1922.

In 1798 Baron Vivant Denon visited the site while in Egypt with the French forces, and made a drawing (of which this is an excerpt) from out to the north-west of what was by then no more than a village.
Some of the architectural details in the distance can be observed more closely in Denon’s second drawing, and can still be observed in modern photographs.
Unwittingly, Denon made his long-distance drawing precisely in the middle of the mounds which would start to yield their papyrus riches to Grenfell and Hunt at the end of the next century, riches which would see their first instalment published exactly a century after Denon’s visit.

 Kitchener of Khartoum.
In 1892 Colonel Kitchener succeeded Sir Francis (Lord) Grenfell as Sirdar of the Egyptian army, and three years later, when he had completed his predecessor's work of re-organizing the forces of the Khedive, he began the formation of an expeditionary force on the vexed military frontier of Wady Halfa.
In 1897 Sir Archibald Hunter's victory of Abu Hamed (Aug. 7) carried the Egyptian flag one stage farther, and in 1898 the resolve to destroy the Mahdi's power was openly indicated by the despatch of a British force to co-operate with the Egyptians.
Kitchener's work was crowned and the power of the Mahdists utterly destroyed by the victory of Omdurman (Sept. 2), for which he was raised to the peerage as Baron Kitchener of Khartoum, received the G.C.B., the thanks of parliament and a grant of £30,000.
