EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - the aftermath of the bombardment of Alexandria during the war in Egypt on July 11,1882. The image is rich with detail, showcasing various elements that shaped this event. In the foreground, we see rifled guns mounted on Moncrieff carriages within fortifications, representing the devastating firepower employed during this conflict. Moving towards the center, our attention is drawn to H. M. S. "Superb" bearing visible scars from battle. A shell's entry point and its destructive aftermath are highlighted with precision. As we explore further, a ship's "top" stands tall and ready for combat, symbolizing resilience amidst chaos. Towering above it all is Fort Pharos with its majestic lighthouse - an iconic structure that suffered damage at the hands of British artillery. The engraving technique used to capture this historical moment adds depth and texture to every intricate detail presented here. This vintage-styled print transports us back in time while preserving an important chapter in Victorian culture and arts. With its maritime theme encompassing ships, forts, and naval warfare against a backdrop of sea and sky, this image evokes thoughts of transportation across vast oceans and trade routes connecting nations. It serves as a reminder not only of past conflicts but also of humanity's enduring spirit even amidst destruction.
