EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The War in Egypt" takes us back to the 19th century, providing a glimpse into the tumultuous times of the Anglo-Egyptian War. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a scene filled with action and tension. In this image, we witness enemy forces led by Captain Briscoe engaging in skirmishes with British soldiers on the streets of Egypt. Mounted infantrymen from the 60th Rifles patrol through the chaotic scene as they navigate their horses amidst street scenes ravaged by war. The Mahmoudiyeh Canal serves as a backdrop for this intense battle. The composition captures both the military precision and chaos that characterized this conflict. Men armed with rifles can be seen exchanging fire while others engage in hand-to-hand combat using swords and bayonets. The atmosphere is thick with smoke and dust as bullets fly through the air. Amidst all this turmoil, an O Steamer Tanjore stands tall in defiance, symbolizing resilience against adversity. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on August 12th, 1882 - immortalizing a significant moment during this historic event. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the sacrifices made during times of war and reflect upon how history continues to shape our world today.
