EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of an Exhibition in Aid of the Egyptian War Fund at Humphreys Hall, Knightsbridge. The image takes us back to a significant moment in history, as depicted by Alfred Courbould. The exhibition was held to raise funds for the Egyptian War effort and was featured in The Illustrated London News on 24 February 1883. The scene is filled with intriguing details that tell a story of heroism and solidarity. We see Captain Acklom and Trooper Browning's sword proudly displayed alongside keys symbolizing victory. A railway bell reminds us of the crucial role transportation played during wartime. In one corner, soldiers recite lines from captured war medals while a poodle dog and an Egyptian donkey add charm to the atmosphere. A tent stands tall amidst a fire, representing resilience even in challenging times. Notable figures such as Duke of Teck are present, emphasizing their support for this noble cause. The biblical references scattered throughout the exhibition highlight how faith provided strength during these trying times. Exhibited items like Milner's safe and Arabis' sword showcase both practicality and historical significance. From Clement Scott's charge to Arabis prison, every aspect reflects bravery and sacrifice. This engraving transports us back to a time when individuals came together for a common purpose: aiding those affected by war. It serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to unite in times of crisis and showcases how exhibitions can be powerful platforms for fundraising efforts that make lasting impacts on communities around the world.
