EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the aftermath of the devastating hit on an Egyptian cannon during the Anglo-French bombardment of Alexandria in 1882. The image, taken by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, showcases the sheer power and destruction caused by this intense conflict over control of the Suez Canal. In this landscape composition, we see a male artillery soldier standing beside the damaged cannon at Fort Pharos. The impact is evident as the muzzle of the weapon has been directly hit, leaving it mangled and broken. This visual testament to war serves as a reminder of both its destructive force and its lasting consequences. The barren surroundings hint at an African or Middle Eastern location, further emphasizing that this event took place far from British shores. It highlights how Britain's involvement extended beyond their own borders during this period of colonial expansion. The photograph's high contrast black and white format adds depth to every detail captured within it. From the intricate textures on the cannon to subtle nuances in lighting, each element contributes to creating a visually striking piece that demands attention. As we gaze upon this historical artifact frozen in time, we are transported back to 1882 when tensions ran high between Britain and Egypt over control of one of humanity's most vital waterways –the Suez Canal.
