EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by William Edward Atkins depicts the ironclads that participated in the Bombardment of Alexandria on 11 July. The scene is filled with a sense of grandeur and power as these mighty ships, including the barbette turret ship Monarch and the flagship Alexandra, dominate the maritime landscape. The image showcases the naval might of the Royal Navy during this crucial moment in history - the Anglo-Egyptian War. The ironclads are meticulously detailed, showcasing their formidable weaponry such as chase guns and broadside guns. These warships were instrumental in carrying out bombing raids against Alexandria, leaving an indelible mark on Egypt's history. In addition to capturing this pivotal military event, Atkins also includes elements that highlight other aspects of this historical moment. We see troops from both navy and army units present at Naval School Alexandria, emphasizing the collaboration between different branches of armed forces during combat operations. Furthermore, there is a subtle nod to royalty with mentions of "his royal highness" and "her royal highness" symbolizing their involvement or interest in this significant conflict. Overall, Atkins' engraving offers viewers a glimpse into a key moment in naval warfare history while also highlighting various facets surrounding it – from military strategy to societal implications.
