Created by William Heysham Overend and published in The Illustrated London News on September 16,1882, this artwork vividly depicts a scene from the Anglo-Egyptian War. In this dramatic portrayal, two powerful nine-pounder cannons dominate the foreground while soldiers of the Royal Horse Artillery tirelessly work around them.
