EDITORS COMMENTS
The British Fleet bombards the Ports at Alexandria, July 11st, 1882 (litho) captures a pivotal moment in history when the British Mediterranean Fleet unleashed its destructive power upon the Egyptian city. This lithograph, created by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the intense shelling and mortar attacks that occurred during this infamous bombardment. The image showcases Fort Pharos being pummeled by relentless bombings as smoke billows up into the sky. The scene is filled with chaos and destruction as buildings crumble under the force of naval artillery. It serves as a haunting reminder of the devastating consequences of war. This historical event marked Britain's intervention in Egypt to protect their interests and maintain control over strategic ports. The three-day bombardment left a lasting impact on both sides, forever altering Egypt's political landscape. Preserved in private collection and now available through Fine Art Finder's print, this lithograph allows viewers to reflect on this significant moment in time. It serves as a testament to human conflict and raises questions about imperialism and military aggression. As we gaze upon this powerful image, let us remember those whose lives were affected by these events and strive for peace so that such scenes may never be repeated.
