EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print commemorates the pivotal Battle of Salehieh, a significant engagement during the French Campaign in Egypt led by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1798. The twelve-day long battle, which took place from August 3 to August 14, marked a turning point in the French conquest of Egypt. The Egyptian forces, led by Murad Bey, initially put up a valiant resistance against the French troops. However, the French, with their superior firepower and tactical prowess, managed to gain the upper hand. The battle is particularly notable for the French use of artillery, which played a decisive role in breaking the Egyptian lines. The defeat at Salehieh marked the end of the Egyptian resistance against the French invasion and paved the way for Napoleon's eventual conquest of Egypt. The campaign in Egypt was a crucial part of Napoleon's rise to power and is considered a significant moment in the history of the French Revolutionary Wars. This print captures the intensity and drama of the battlefield, with French soldiers charging forward against the Egyptian ranks. The smoke from gunpowder fills the air, and the cacophony of battle can be heard in the distance. The defeat of the Egyptian forces at Salehieh was a significant moment in the history of the Middle East and the world, and this print serves as a powerful reminder of the events that unfolded over twelve fateful days in August 1798.
