EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "British Festivities in Upper Egypt" takes us back to a time of laughter and merriment. Created by John Charles Dollman in 1895, this print captures the essence of British leisure and humor during their presence in Upper Egypt. The scene unfolds with a delightful chaos as individuals donning elaborate costumes drive through the dusty streets on donkeys. A lively amateur band follows closely behind, filling the air with cheerful tunes that add to the festive atmosphere. In the distance, officers engage in a thrilling game of polo while spectators enjoy drinks and conversation under the shade of thorny trees. The focal point of this enchanting image is undoubtedly a fancy dress banquet where guests indulge in food and drink. The hosts raise their glasses high, toasting each other's health with great enthusiasm. Amongst them, an eccentric coster stands out as he proudly presents a rose to one of his companions. Every detail within this artwork tells its own story - from the mischievous glances exchanged between revelers to the playful antics of both man and beast alike. It serves as a testament to how British festivities brought joy even amidst unfamiliar surroundings. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that no matter where they found themselves, Britons always managed to infuse their unique brand of celebration into every corner of the globe.
