EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures the intense atmosphere during the War in Egypt in 1882. The unrest that had plagued Egypt in 1881 and 1882 led to the construction of forts by the Egyptian Army to protect Alexandria. However, with concerns for the safety of the vital Suez Canal, which connected Europe and Asia, mounting warnings prompted the British Fleet to take action. On 11 July 1882, they bombarded Alexandria. In this image, a Krupp field gun stands tall on a hill overlooking the sea. A soldier dressed in military uniform stands beside it, his rifle at hand and bayonet fixed. His alertness is palpable as he watches over Alexandria's protection. The sky above is clear, emphasizing both calmness and tension simultaneously. The vast expanse of grass stretches towards the horizon over water where nautical vessels can be seen dotting its surface. This scene serves as a reminder of how conflict has shaped history throughout time. The illustration technique used adds depth and texture to this vertical composition while Western script provides context for viewers unfamiliar with this historical event. This photograph offers a glimpse into an era when only men were involved in battleships and war strategies dominated international affairs. It serves as a testament to human resilience amidst political turmoil and highlights how crucial landmarks like the Suez Canal played pivotal roles even then.
