EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative engraving that captures the tumultuous events of the Anglo-Egyptian War in the late 19th century. The image depicts a scene of chaos and desperation as refugees scramble to board boats for safety amidst the backdrop of Alexandria's bustling port. The artist, belonging to the English School of the time, skillfully conveys both the urgency and despair felt by those caught up in this crisis. The composition draws our attention to a group of weary men, women, and children anxiously awaiting their turn to embark on one of the ships. Their faces tell stories of fear and uncertainty as they leave behind their homes and everything they once knew. Intriguingly, a tugboat can be seen guiding one ship towards its departure point - symbolizing hope amidst adversity.

This historical print originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on July 8th, 1882 - providing readers with an important visual account from afar. Today it serves as a poignant reminder not only of past conflicts but also highlights ongoing global refugee crises that continue to affect millions around the world.
