The Making of Modern Egypt and the Story of the Soudan
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph captures a pivotal moment in Egyptian history, showcasing the power dynamics between British forces and the people of Egypt. The scene depicts a bustling harbor filled with majestic warships, as a landing party prepares for action under the command of Admiral Sir F. B. P Seymour. The image transports us back to May 1882 when tensions were high in Alexandria. The bombardment of Alexandria by HMS Invincible marked a significant turning point in modern Egypt's story. As we gaze upon this print, we witness incidents such as the shelling of Fort Mex by an allied fleet led by Lord Alcester. Amidst all this chaos, one cannot help but notice the cheering crowd onshore, showing their support for these military operations. The presence of troops from both navy and army highlights the collaborative efforts between armed forces during this period. The lithograph also offers glimpses into other key locations like Suda Bay and portrays notable figures such as Lord Charles Beresford involved in spiking guns to prevent further conflict. Through intricate engravings and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork provides valuable insight into maritime warfare strategies employed during that era while shedding light on Britain's influence over Egypt at that time. As we admire this historical masterpiece from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us reflect on how it encapsulates not only significant events but also showcases humanity's resilience amidst turbulent times.
