EDITORS COMMENTS
The Flooding on Lake Mareotis (engraving) captures a dramatic scene during the Anglo-Egyptian War in the 19th century. This print, part of a private collection, showcases the destructive power of nature as it engulfs the south end of Lake Mareotis. The engraving, originally published in The Graphic on September 30,1882, provides a detailed view of the flooding and its impact on the surrounding area. The artist from the English School skillfully depicts the chaos and devastation caused by this natural disaster. Intriguingly, amidst this watery turmoil lies an explosion that adds another layer of intrigue to this already gripping image. It leaves viewers wondering about its origin and consequences within this tumultuous setting. Lake Mareotis itself takes center stage in this artwork; its vast expanse dominates the composition. The lines marking out Mex Village and Mex Lines provide context for understanding how far-reaching these floodwaters have become. This historic engraving serves as both a visual record and a reminder of humanity's vulnerability when faced with nature's fury. It invites us to reflect upon our relationship with our environment while appreciating art's ability to capture significant moments in history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their Fine Art Finder platform, ensuring that future generations can appreciate not only its artistic merit but also gain insight into past events.
