The Cholera in Egypt, with a Sanitary Cordon of Mounted Constabulary
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century. This historical print captures the chaotic scene during an outbreak of cholera in Egypt. The image showcases a group of mounted constabulary forming a protective cordon around an Egyptian doctor who appears perplexed by the situation. As we gaze through the glass-like frame, our eyes are drawn to the mighty Nile flowing calmly in the background while chaos unfolds in the town ahead. Natives and officers alike can be seen watching intently as this makeshift force attempts to control and contain the deadly disease. The horses, their strength evident even in stillness, stand tall amidst broken streets and crumbling buildings. Disguised under their uniforms, these brave constables maintain order while providing assistance where needed. Intriguingly, our attention is also drawn towards Cairo Railway Station bustling with activity as people arrive from various parts of Egypt seeking refuge or fleeing from danger. The engraving hints at forcible explanations being given by officials to those attempting entry into Cairo. This powerful depiction not only sheds light on one specific event but also serves as a reminder of Africa's struggle against diseases like cholera throughout history. It offers us a glimpse into North East Africa's past and highlights how communities came together during times of crisis. Through "The Cholera in Egypt". Bridgeman Images allows us to witness this pivotal moment captured forever within its fine art
