EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Starving Dogs at a Temporary Cafe in the Grand Square, Alexandria" transports us back to 19th-century Egypt during the Anglo-Egyptian War. The image captures a poignant scene of desperation and survival amidst the chaos of conflict. In this bustling square, stray dogs gather around a makeshift cafe, their emaciated bodies reflecting the harsh realities of war. Their sunken eyes and protruding ribs tell a tale of hunger and suffering that is difficult to ignore. As patrons enjoy their meals inside the cafe, these starving creatures are left outside, scavenging for any morsel they can find. The artist's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. From the architectural grandeur surrounding the square to the worn-out faces of those passing by, every element contributes to an atmosphere filled with tension and despair. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on August 26th, 1882. It serves as a powerful reminder of both human indifference towards animal suffering and the devastating impact war has on innocent lives. Through this thought-provoking artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are compelled to reflect upon our own responsibility towards those who suffer during times of conflict – whether they be humans or animals – urging us not only to remember history but also strive for compassion in our present-day world.
