EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the bombardment of Alexandria, Egypt, in 1882. The image was taken at Place des Consuls, a prominent square located in the heart of the city's European quarter. The serene scene belies the chaos and destruction that had unfolded just hours before. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage makes its way through the debris, its passengers seemingly unfazed by the ruins that surround them. In the background, the harbor is filled with ships, some of which were damaged during the bombardment. The British Royal Navy, under the command of Admiral Seymour, had launched a military campaign against Egypt in response to the assassination of British Consul General Sir Edward Malet. The bombardment of Alexandria on July 11, 1882, marked the beginning of the Anglo-Egyptian War, which ultimately led to British occupation of Egypt. The photograph provides a glimpse into the aftermath of this pivotal moment in history, showcasing the devastating impact of war on a once-thriving city." This image is a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the history of Alexandria and the events that shaped its future.
