EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable figure of Ahmed Orabi, an influential Egyptian army general and nationalist. The portrait captures his commanding presence and unwavering determination, making it a truly compelling piece. Ahmed Orabi rose to prominence in 1879 when he led a courageous revolt against Tewfik Pasha, the Khedive of Egypt and Sudan. Fueled by his deep concern for the increasing European domination of Egypt, Orabi became a symbol of resistance against colonialism during the late 19th century. Also known as Orabi Pasha or Ahmed Pasha Orabi el-Masri, this esteemed military officer played a pivotal role in shaping Egypt's history. His leadership skills were unparalleled as he rallied soldiers and inspired them to fight for their nation's independence. The tinted drawing transports us back to the early 20th century, immersing us in an era marked by political turmoil and shifting power dynamics. It serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by colonies under imperial rule. Through this illustration, we gain insight into not only Orabi's significant contributions but also the broader context of war-torn governments and ambitious generals that defined this period. It is a testament to both his personal legacy and Egypt's rich history. This historical gem from Cassell's History of England Volume VII allows us to appreciate Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving important moments through art.
