After the Burning of Alexandria
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Charles Edwin Fripp that transports viewers back to the dramatic events of the Anglo-Egyptian War in 1882. This powerful image, now part of a private collection, captures the chaos and devastation that engulfed Alexandria during this tumultuous period. In this scene, we witness a bustling street filled with desperate individuals from various walks of life. The artist's attention to detail allows us to observe starving Arabs clad in traditional dress alongside Jews and other locals seeking refuge amidst the conflagration. Their expressions convey fear and despair as they navigate through the ruins left behind by the burning city. The grand square serves as both a stage for this tragic event and a testament to human resilience. Amidst crumbling buildings and billowing smoke, courageous correspondents document these historical moments while artists like Fripp immortalize them through their works of art. This print not only showcases Fripp's artistic prowess but also sheds light on an important chapter in history. It reminds us of the devastating consequences war can have on innocent lives, particularly when it comes to food supply shortages and displacement. As we gaze upon "After the Burning of Alexandria" we are reminded of our duty to preserve such significant artworks that serve as visual records of our shared past. Bridgeman Images has done just that by making this piece accessible through Fine Art Finder, allowing us all to appreciate its historical significance without commercial intent.
