EDITORS COMMENTS
The War in Egypt, from Ismailia to the Front by Train" captures a pivotal moment during the Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882. In this engraving by Herbert Johnson, we witness the intensity and anticipation as a train comes to a halt at an unknown stop along the railway line. The scene is filled with soldiers and military personnel gazing out of their windows, eagerly awaiting their next destination. A special correspondent can be seen walking at a leisurely pace alongside the train, capturing every detail for his report. The heavy trucks carrying supplies stand still under the broiling midday sun. Despite being in such harsh conditions, there is an air of camaraderie among those present. Soldiers enjoy moments of respite while sipping water from nearby carts or engaging in conversation with fellow comrades. The artist skillfully portrays both the horror of war and moments of humanity amidst chaos. As we observe this snapshot in time, one cannot help but feel drawn into this historic event unfolding before our eyes. We are left wondering about their ultimate destination – what battles await them beyond these tracks? But for now, they remain determined and ready to face whatever lies ahead as they prepare to continue their journey towards victory. This print serves as a testament to both the bravery and resilience displayed by those involved in conflicts throughout history. It reminds us that even amidst turmoil, there are glimpses of unity and hope that keep us moving forward towards brighter days.
