EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The War in Egypt (engraving)", takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882. The image, captured by Herbert Johnson, showcases the intense military atmosphere during this conflict. In the foreground, we see a group of enemy mounted infantry soldiers, their determined faces reflecting the gravity of war. They are clad in traditional military attire and armed with rifles as they prepare for battle. Behind them lies a sprawling military camp bustling with activity; soldiers can be seen engaged in various tasks while tents dot the landscape. Amidst this scene stands Captain Pigott, an authoritative figure overseeing operations at Quay Mehemet Ali. His presence exudes leadership and strategic thinking as he navigates through the chaos of war. Further into the distance, we catch sight of Mahsameh - a key location during this campaign - where troops from the Thirteenth Bengal Lancers have set up camp. The vastness of these camps highlights both the scale and complexity of warfare during that time. "The War in Egypt (engraving)" serves as a poignant reminder of past conflicts that shaped nations and altered destinies. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely on both sides. This historical snapshot is not only visually striking but also invites contemplation about humanity's enduring struggle for power and peace.
